N537 - Health Care Informatics

The document discusses the five rights of knowledge that are important for an effective nursing informatics system: right information, right people, right setting, right way, and right time. It states that the most important rights are the right people, right information, and right way, as these determine how information is gathered, interpreted, and delivered. The document indicates that if necessary, the right that could be sacrificed is the right time, as information systems now allow nurses to better manage their schedules and provide improved patient care despite potential time constraints.

N537 - Health Care Informatics

The five rights of knowledge, that is: right information, access to the right people, in the

right setting, applied in the right way, and at the right time, are all vital in creating a reliable

information system to enhance the nursing practice. However, some circumstances might prevent

one from meeting these rights and a nurse might be forced to only meet the most important ones

and omit the least important ones without threatening the quality of nursing care delivered. This

calls for efficient decision making and prioritization, which are also the keys to efficacious

nursing practice.

The most important right is the right people because selecting the right team with

sufficient knowledge to effectively pass important information needed for successful results. The

other right that must ought to be prioritized is right information. Information represents the data

to be manipulated, therefore, this right is preceded by the right person since people represent the

manpower to manipulate the data (Hassan, 2019). The information must be right in order to

make correct decisions. The third most important right is the way since it determines the manner

in which the information is interpreted and delivered to clients. Creditable information can be

inadequate if delivered in the wrong manner (Hassan, 2019). The fourth but not the least is the

right setting. This right provides that nursing informatics need correct facilities in order to be

implemented in the best way. Therefore, people, information and the way of delivery are all

useless if there are not available resources (Hassan, 2019).

This therefore means that the right that I could sacrifice if forced by circumstances is the

right time. Nurses must be vigilant of time because any time wasted could take ways the life of

the patient. Nonetheless, the introduction of information system has made operations easier for

nurses as we can now self-schedule our shifts easily (Hassan, 2019). This enable better care

plans and comprehensive patient assessment and evaluation. Therefore, in this generation, time

can be used well to ensure improved patient outcomes.
