Nursing Implementation01:15

Nursing 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.

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,...

Healthcare Agencies I

Healthcare agencies provide healthcare services to people. In the United States, voluntary agencies are often non-profit centers sponsored by donations, grants, or fundraisers. One such organization is Meals on Wheels, which provides meals to the elderly and homebound. The American Heart Association and the American Lung Association are other non-profit community organizations. Doctors and nurses are frequently active members of these organizations, which offer health checks and educational...

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Global Health
  • Open Source Software Development

Background:

  • OpenMRS is an open-source electronic medical record system primarily used in Africa for HIV patient management.
  • There was a need for regional support to manage the increasing number of OpenMRS implementations across Africa.
  • Involving African developers and implementers in OpenMRS's growth was a key consideration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish an open Implementers Network for OpenMRS.
  • To provide regional support for OpenMRS implementations in Africa.
  • To integrate African developers and implementers into the OpenMRS development ecosystem.

Main Methods:

  • Developed the OpenMRS Implementers Network using a Wiki site and e-mail server.
  • Organized annual meetings in South Africa and regional training courses.
  • Initiated an OpenMRS Internship program and collaborated with similar African networks.

Main Results:

  • The network's Wiki and list server effectively provide support and facilitate experience exchange.
  • Annual meetings have grown in attendance, with nearly 200 participants in 2008.
  • African developers are engaged through internships, and collaborations are fostering interoperability.
  • Implementations in South Africa demonstrated successful configuration and maintenance of integrated HIV/TB applications, replicated in other sites.
  • The network significantly contributes to OpenMRS growth and sustainability in Africa, enabling implementation without extensive programming support.

Conclusions:

  • The OpenMRS Implementers Network is a successful model for providing regional support and fostering collaboration.
  • It effectively includes African developers and implementers in the OpenMRS ecosystem.
  • The network enhances the sustainability and growth of OpenMRS in developing countries.
