Data-To-Wisdom Continuum Analysis PaperData-To-Wisdom Continuum Analysis Paper
The purpose of this assignment is to be able to incorporate the data-to-wisdom continuum into the practice of professional nurse. You are required to think of a concept/issue/idea in your practice area then relate it to the four steps of the data, information, knowledge, wisdom continuum.
Develop the concept/idea/issue you selected from your practice area into a relevant question. For example, if you are thinking of patient falls, you may think of a question such as: what factors that leads to patient falls in a nursing home?
Describe the question you developed and then relate how you would work through the four steps of the data, information, knowledge, wisdom continuum. Be specific.
Relate how you would take the information gleaned and turn it into useable knowledge.
Can informatics be used to gain wisdom?
Describe how you would progress from simply having useful knowledge to the wisdom to make decisions about the information you have found during your database search.
