Summary
This study analyzed documented nursing interventions for cancer patients to assess the usability of the Nursing Intervention Classification (NIC) system within Electronic Health Records (EHRs). Findings offer insights into NIC
Area of Science:
- Nursing
- Oncology
- Health Informatics
Background:
- Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are crucial for documenting patient care.
- Standardized classification systems are needed to organize nursing interventions.
- The Nursing Intervention Classification (NIC) is a potential system for EHRs.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze documented nursing interventions in cancer patient records.
- To evaluate the extent to which these interventions can be classified using the NIC system.
- To assess the usability of NIC within EHR systems for oncology nursing.
Main Methods:
- Pilot study design.
- Abstraction of nursing interventions from cancer patient records.
- Classification of documented interventions using the NIC taxonomy.
Main Results:
- Identified types of nursing interventions documented for cancer patients.
- Determined the degree of applicability of NIC to these documented interventions.
- Provided preliminary data on NIC's usability in an EHR context.
Conclusions:
- The study offers valuable insights into the practical application of NIC in EHR systems.
- Results inform the potential integration and refinement of NIC for oncology nursing documentation.
- Further research is warranted to validate NIC's utility in diverse EHR settings.

01:29Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions
Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:
01:03Nursing Interventions I: Taxonomy of Nursing Interventions
Nursing interventions are chosen as part of the planning process to achieve patient outcomes. Once nursing diagnoses are determined, the goals and outcomes are specified, then the nursing interventions are selected and individualized according to the patient's situation.
A nursing intervention is a treatment or action based on scientific concepts and knowledge from the nursing, behavioral, and physical sciences. Identifying and prioritizing nursing interventions based on the desired outcome is...

Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS)
A Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS) is a specialized type of healthcare information system tailored to meet the unique needs of nursing practice. It incorporates the principles of nursing informatics to streamline information management and improve the quality of care delivery.
Critical attributes of NCIS include:

01:15Nursing Implementation
Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

01:22Nursing Diagnosis
Following assessment, a nursing diagnosis is the next step in the nursing process. It begins after the nurse has collected and recorded the patient data. The purpose of diagnosing is to identify how the client responds to actual or potential health processes, identify factors that bestow or that cause health problems, the etiologies, and identify resources or strengths the individual, group, or community can draw on to prevent or resolve problems.

01:30Current Trends in Nursing II
Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...
