Data, Information, Knowledge, and Wisdom Walden University Transforming Nursing & Healthcare NUR 6051D-2 December 29, 2013 Data, Information, Knowledge, and Wisdom The American Nurses Association states that “Nursing Informatics (NI) is a specialty that incorporates nursing science, computer science, and information science to control and communicate data, information, knowledge, and wisdom in the nursing practice” (2008, p.1). The use of data, information, knowledge, and wisdom is very essential to maintain nursing and informatics; for nurses to accurately perform in improving the quality of patient care. For instance in research, it is necessary to sort through data into valid information, and to transfer that information into knowledge, and then lastly to convert that knowledge into wisdom.

The purpose of this paper is to inform the reader on the necessary steps it takes to conduct a research on a clinical question, how to organize that information, how to use that information to gain knowledge and wisdom, and lastly to utilize that wisdom in their practice.
