Average is ALWAYS the sum/n; n = number of discrete values. If you think of it in terms of a moving submarine, the submarine goes down 17.21 meters, then goes up 7.90 meters. Final position is -9.31 meters. So on average he went down 4.655 meters per move.
So, with that being said I turn to McGonigle and Mastrian (2009) and their definition of Nursing Informatics which is the âcombination of nursing science, information science and computer science to manage and communicate data, information, knowledge, and wisdom in nursing practiceâ (p. 5).
It is an integrated discipline with specialty domains that include management science, management engineering principles, healthcare delivery and public health, patient safety, information science and computer technology.ealth Informatics (HI) is a science that defines how health information is technically captured, transmitted and utilized. Health informatics focuses on information systems, informatics principles, and information technology as it is applied to the continuum of healthcare delivery.
