Methods of Documentation V: CBE

Charting by Exception, or CBE, is a method of documentation used in healthcare, particularly in nursing, that focuses on documenting only significant or abnormal findings rather than recording every detail. This approach aims to streamline the documentation process, improve efficiency, and ensure that healthcare providers can quickly identify deviations from normalcy in patient assessments.
In CBE, healthcare professionals establish predefined standards of practice that define what constitutes...

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare research
  • Nursing
  • Concept analysis

Background:

  • Enablement is a professional intervention focused on enhancing patient control over health and life.
  • Understanding enablement is crucial for patient-centered care models.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a concept analysis of enablement in healthcare.
  • To identify the attributes, antecedents, and consequents of enablement.

Main Methods:

  • Concept analysis using Rodgers' method.
  • Literature review from 1980-2008 across multiple databases (CINAHL, Medline, Embase, PsycInfo, Social Works Abstract).
  • Thematic analysis following Miles & Huberman procedures.

Main Results:

  • 61 articles were included in the review, with 67% related to nursing.
  • Key attributes of enablement identified: therapeutic relationship, holistic care, learning facilitation, strength valorization, decision-making support, and broadening possibilities.
  • The analysis identified core components of patient empowerment in healthcare.

Conclusions:

  • The identified attributes provide a foundation for future enablement studies.
  • Further conceptual and empirical research is needed to clarify enablement's relationship with patient-centered care, shared decision-making, and participation.
