Nursing Informatics and the Foundation of Knowledge, Fifth Edition by Dee McGonigle and Kathleen Garver Mastrian is the foundational textbook for nursing informatics education - a comprehensive, practical resource that teaches nursing students the core concepts of knowledge management and the technology tools and applications essential for proficient nursing informatics practice. Published by Jones & Bartlett Learning, this text is the leading reference for nursing informatics courses in BSN, MSN, and DNP programs.
Grounded in the Foundation of Knowledge Model, the authors use this innovative theoretical framework as an organizational structure throughout the text to teach students how to acquire, process, and disseminate knowledge in clinical and organizational settings. This model-based approach ensures a coherent, integrated learning experience that connects informatics theory to real-world nursing practice and healthcare technology applications.
The Fifth Edition has been carefully updated throughout to reflect the most current advances in technology, healthcare reimbursement services, and informatics practice. Updated content highlights the timely contribution of informatics to quality improvement, interprofessional collaboration, and pandemic response. A thought-provoking closing chapter examines the future impact of technology on patient care - including care bots, cyborgs, and artificial intelligence - preparing nurses to be informed participants in the digital transformation of healthcare.
Key topics include: data, information, knowledge, and wisdom; health information systems; electronic health records (EHR); clinical decision support; telehealth; patient safety and informatics; cybersecurity in healthcare; and the nurse informaticist role. Essential for nurses preparing for the ANCC Informatics Nursing certification (RN-BC) and for all healthcare professionals working at the intersection of nursing practice and health information technology.
"I was paying $11.99/month for Kindle Unlimited but realized I was renting books, not owning them. Bought this PDF and it's mine forever. Never going back to Kindle."
"Switched from Kindle to these PDFs. Same book, but I actually OWN it now. No monthly fees, no app required. Worth every penny."
"Kindle Unlimited kept raising prices. This is a one-time purchase and the file is permanently on my iPad. Best decision I've made for my reading habit."
"I compared Kindle vs this store. Kindle is cheaper monthly but you don't own anything. Here I paid once and the PDF is mine for life. Highly recommend."
"Left Kindle behind after they removed a book I was reading mid-series. With this PDF, nobody can take it away from me. True ownership feels good."
"Was skeptical about paying $18.95 when Kindle shows $3.99, but then I did the math โ Kindle Unlimited is $143/year! This is way better value long term."
"Love that I can read this on any device without installing the Kindle app. The PDF works on my laptop, phone, and tablet seamlessly. So much freedom."
"My Kindle subscription was getting expensive. Switched to buying PDFs here and I'm saving money while actually building a permanent digital library I control."
