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.
Nursing Clinical Information System01:27

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:
Guidelines for Writing Outcome01:11

Guidelines for Writing Outcome

When developing expected outcomes for a patient care plan, the nurse should adhere to the following recommendations:
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care evaluation by...
Nursing Evaluation01:15

Nursing Evaluation

The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

Fundamentals of Nursing Process II01:25

Fundamentals of Nursing Process II

There are several characteristics related to delivering nursing care. One vital characteristic of the nursing process is that it can be used to protect nurses and justify the provided care. Productive use of the nursing process requires the knowledge and skills of nurses to assess and solve issues. Nurses should develop and strengthen their critical thinking skills and evidence-based nursing interventions to improve their skills in formulating nursing care plans. A well-defined approach to...

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Nursing Science
  • Healthcare Quality Improvement

Background:

  • Preterm birth (PTB) remains a critical challenge in modern obstetrics.
  • Effective quality measures for PTB prevention and management are essential in clinical care systems.
  • Nursing's commitment to women and families positions it to lead quality improvement initiatives.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and implement a nursing-led quality program aimed at improving perinatal outcomes for managed care enrollees.
  • To integrate evidence-based practice, clinical expertise, and patient values into a holistic care framework.

Main Methods:

  • A pre/post-program implementation design was utilized.
  • A nursing team collaborated with a managed care organization.
  • A holistic framework incorporating evidence, expertise, and patient values guided the program.

Main Results:

  • Significant improvements were observed in perinatal outcomes, specifically a reduction in neonatal intensive care length of stay.
  • The program resulted in demonstrable cost savings.
  • These improvements serve as proxy measures for enhanced infant health.

Conclusions:

  • The implemented nursing quality program effectively improved key perinatal outcome indicators.
  • This initiative represents a successful step towards reducing preterm birth rates.
  • Integrating evidence, expertise, and patient-centered values is crucial for effective quality improvement in perinatal care.
