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...

Patient-centered Care

Patient-centered Care

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

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:

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis

The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.
It is critical to determine the patient's learning needs during the assessment. Determination of learning needs compounds data from the...

Study Designs in Epidemiology

Study Designs in Epidemiology

Epidemiological study designs are fundamental tools for investigating the distribution, determinants, and control of health conditions in populations. They help researchers understand the relationships between exposures and outcomes, and they broadly fall into two categories: "observational" and "experimental" studies.
Observational studies are those where the researcher does not intervene but rather observes natural variations. They include cross-sectional, cohort, and case-control studies.

Ethical Dilemmas II

Ethical Dilemmas II

Resolving an ethical dilemma in healthcare involves a systematic approach that considers every aspect of the issue, respecting both the patient's needs and values and the healthcare professional's ethical obligations. Here are potential steps to resolve an ethical dilemma:

Area of Science:

Health Informatics
Human-Computer Interaction
Software Engineering

Background:

Clinical decision support systems (CDSS) aid healthcare professionals but are challenging to develop due to complex domain knowledge and context of use.
Usability is critical for effective CDSS implementation in clinical environments.
Existing development approaches may not adequately address the unique challenges of clinical CDSS.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the application of a user-centered design (UCD) approach for developing a usable CDSS within a clinical context.
To propose a customized UCD methodology integrating openEHR standards.
To present the graphical user interface (GUI) developed and its evaluation findings.

Main Methods:

A design-based research methodology was employed.
A user-centered design (UCD) approach was customized and combined with openEHR.
A graphical user interface (GUI) was developed during the design phase.
The developed GUI underwent evaluation.

Main Results:

A customized UCD approach, integrating UCD principles with openEHR, was successfully developed.
A functional GUI for the CDSS was created.
Preliminary evaluation results of the GUI were obtained.

Conclusions:

The customized UCD approach offers a viable framework for developing usable clinical decision support systems.
Integrating UCD with openEHR facilitates the creation of context-aware and user-friendly CDSS.
Further research and evaluation are warranted to validate the approach in diverse clinical settings.
