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:

Current Trends in Nursing II

Current 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,...

Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions

Nursing 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:

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

An Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is a diagnostic procedure in which an endoscopist uses a flexible, lighted endoscope to visualize the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The procedure includes visualizing the oropharynx, esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine, the duodenum.
During an EGD, the endoscope can be used to:

Enteral Nutrition II: Nasointestinal and Gastrostomy Feeding

Enteral Nutrition II: Nasointestinal and Gastrostomy Feeding

Enteral nutrition encompasses various methods of delivering nutrition directly to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, bypassing traditional oral intake. It is particularly beneficial for patients who cannot eat by mouth but have a functioning digestive system. Key methods include nasointestinal feeding, gastrostomy, and jejunostomy, each suited to different clinical scenarios based on the patient's needs and condition.
Nasointestinal Feeding
Nasointestinal feeding involves placing a tube through...

Esophageal Varices-II: Clinical Features and Management

Esophageal Varices-II: Clinical Features and Management

Esophageal varices often manifest as gastrointestinal bleeding episodes, presenting symptoms like hematemesis (vomiting of blood), hematochezia (passing fresh blood via the rectum), and melena (black, tarry stools). Other signs can include weight loss, anorexia, abdominal discomfort, jaundice, pruritus, altered mental status, and muscle cramps.
In the initial assessment, a thorough review of the patient's medical history is vital to identify risk factors such as liver disease, alcohol abuse, or...

Area of Science:

Healthcare Science
Nursing Research
Clinical Practice Improvement

Background:

Evidence-based practice (EBP) is crucial for optimal healthcare outcomes.
Previous research indicates nurses may lack sufficient skills for meaningful EBP facilitation.
Gastroenterology nursing is a specialized field where EBP implementation requires specific investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the current state of evidence-based practice (EBP) among gastroenterology nurses in the United States.
To replicate previous findings regarding nurses' EBP skills and resource availability.
To identify deficits in EBP implementation within gastroenterology nursing.

Main Methods:

A replication study design was employed.
The study surveyed 225 gastroenterology nurses in the United States.
Data collection focused on assessing EBP skills and resource utilization.

Main Results:

Findings align with prior research, indicating a general lack of EBP skills among surveyed nurses.
Nurses reported insufficient resources to effectively implement evidence-based practice.
The study identified specific challenges faced by gastroenterology nurses in EBP.

Conclusions:

Gastroenterology nurses in the US face challenges in implementing evidence-based practice.
There is a need for targeted educational and resource support to enhance EBP skills in this nursing specialty.
Addressing these deficits is essential for improving patient outcomes in gastroenterology.
