Nursing decision making and the science of the concrete
Abstract:
Information systems are going to change our understanding of nursing as a discipline and as a practice. The act of decision making will be the focus of the impact of information systems on nursing. The article models types of nursing knowledge, organizing them into concrete and abstract knowledge. Information systems will allow the inclusion of concrete science data, which has not been possible previously. Role performance is seen as a mechanism for the integration of the two sciences, and a new understanding for nursing decision making is proposed.
