[The use of bundles in clinical practice]

Abstract:
A bundle is a small, straightforward set of scientifically grounded elements (generally three to five) that, when implemented together, result in better outcomes than when implemented individually. Bundles have found their greatest application in the prevention of Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs). The bundles examined concern the prevention of VAP for patients undergoing mechanical ventilation, the prevention of BSI CVC, the prevention of surgical side infection (SSI), the prevention of catheter-associated urinary tract infections, the prevention of infection by Clostridium difficile and the treatment of sepsis. Studies show a reduction in mortality rates, infection rates and in the length of hospital stay. Some studies have low statistical significance due to the small number of patients examined, and future studies will be needed to confirm these results.

Nursing Clinical Information System
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:
Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is limited...

Nursing Implementation
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.
