Nursing Clinical Information System

Nursing Clinical Information System

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:

Methods of Documentation VII: EMR

Methods of Documentation VII: EMR

Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) primarily center around electronically documenting patients' health information within a single healthcare organization or practice. They contain essential clinical data related to a patient's medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, lab results, and other pertinent information relevant to the specific encounter or episode of care. EMRs are designed to streamline documentation and workflow processes within individual healthcare settings,...

Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model

Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model

The case management model is a multidisciplinary approach that involves healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines, such as physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and pharmacists, working collaboratively to address the various needs of patients. Each healthcare professional brings unique expertise and perspectives, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition and tailoring treatment plans accordingly.
For example, a patient with a chronic illness...

Health Information Technology (HIT)
Health Information Technology, commonly called HIT, integrates advanced information systems and technology in healthcare settings. Its primary functions include:

Integrated Healthcare System

Integrated Healthcare System

An integrated healthcare system (IHS) is a set of organizations that provides for or arranges to provide coordinated and continuous service to a defined population. The IHS takes responsibility for that particular population's health status and outcome, both clinically and fiscally. An integrated healthcare system is a well-organized, well-coordinated, and collaborative network. The integrated delivery system is a network that connects different healthcare providers to deliver organized,...

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
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...

Area of Science:

Medical Informatics
Information Science

Background:

Citation management software (CMS) offers convenient ways to search databases.
Direct database searching provides advanced features.
Understanding output differences is crucial for efficient research.

Purpose of the Study:

To compare search result output between direct database searching and searching via CMS.
To evaluate the suitability of different search methods for various research tasks.

Main Methods:

Searches were conducted on Ovid MEDLINE and PubMed directly.
Identical searches were performed using EndNote X1, EndNote Web, and RefWorks.
Output from both search methods was analyzed and compared.

Main Results:

Direct database searching (MEDLINE, PubMed) provided more comprehensive results for in-depth research.
Citation management software interfaces yielded less optimal results for complex searches.
CMS interfaces were found adequate for citation verification and basic keyword searches.

Conclusions:

Researchers undertaking in-depth literature reviews should prioritize direct database searching.
Citation management software is best suited for preliminary searches and citation management tasks.
Choosing the appropriate search interface enhances research efficiency and accuracy.
