Question

One of the major goals for developing improved healthcare information systems is to increase our ability to aggregate data in order to discover knowledge. In fact, knowledge discovery in databases (KDD) is defined in your text as the “development of skills, understandings, and integrative abilities derived from data” (Hebda & Czar, 2013 p. 69). It introduces a topic that is of critical importance; what (or who) holds real truth, knowledge, and wisdom?   

Jesus explains this to us in John 14:6. We find that only as we believe in Christ can we find real truth. In Romans 11:33-36, Paul writes about how all things come from God. So knowing the source of truth, wisdom, and knowledge resides in our relationship with God through His Son, Jesus.

Thinking It Through

How is knowledge based on our relationship with Christ different than the type of knowledge we can gain from healthcare information systems?

Answer 1

The kowledge based on the relationship with christ is based on word of god and faith mainly according to the bible and ritual in connection with unseen forces, but the knowledge we gain from the healthcare information system is not depending on faith, but depending on the observations, database, and other skills, understanding and integrative abilities derived from the data, and also depends onthe observation, experiments, verfications, proofs and facts,there is aways a conflict between the spirtuality and science.
