Guidelines and Strategies for Safe Computer Charting

Guidelines and Strategies for Safe Computer Charting

The guidelines and strategies provided by the American Nurses Association (ANA) and the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) offer essential principles for ensuring safe and secure computer charting systems in healthcare settings. Let's break down each recommendation:
Maintain Confidentiality and Security:

Health Information Technology and Healthcare Information System

Health Information Technology and Healthcare Information System

Health Information Technology (HIT)
Health Information Technology, commonly called HIT, integrates advanced information systems and technology in healthcare settings. Its primary functions include:

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:

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Neurokinin-1 Receptor Antagonists

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Neurokinin-1 Receptor Antagonists

Neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptors are distributed across the GI tract, vagal afferents, and key CNS regions including the central vomiting center and chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) Chemotherapy agents stimulate enterochromaffin cells in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract to release large amounts of substance P (SP). SP is a neuropeptide released by specific sensory nerves in response to many different stressors, including those in the GI mucosa affected by chemotherapy. SP binds and activates these...

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: 5-HT3 Receptor Antagonists

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: 5-HT₃ Receptor Antagonists

5-HT3 receptor antagonists, such as dolasetron, granisetron (Kytril), ondansetron (Zofran), and palonosetron (Axoli), are crucial in managing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) and postoperative nausea. These drugs selectively block 5-HT3 receptors in the visceral vagal and spinal afferent nerves, chemoreceptor trigger zone, and the vomiting center. They have a rapid onset of action and can be given as a single dose before chemotherapy. Ondansetron and granisetron, in particular,...

Area of Science:

Oncology
Pharmacology
Health Informatics

Background:

Chemotherapy administration errors are a persistent challenge in patient care.
Computerized order entry (COE) systems have demonstrated potential in mitigating medication errors.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate a specific chemotherapy computer order entry system for dosing errors.
To assess the impact of the COE system on the time required for chemotherapy order preparation.

Main Methods:

A prospective study analyzed 2,558 chemotherapy administrations across 235 patients over 12 months.
Chemotherapy order sets generated via COE were reviewed for drug selection, dose calculation, and decimal point errors.
The system's dose warning level and override function were also examined, alongside a time comparison of manual vs. computerized order set creation.

Main Results:

No errors in dose calculations, decimal points, or drug selection were identified.
The system's dose warning level was overridden with user permission in 6% of administrations.
Computerized order entry resulted in an average time saving of 10 minutes per order set.

Conclusions:

Computerized order entry systems, equipped with error-checking algorithms, can effectively eliminate common chemotherapy administration errors.
The implementation of such systems does not compromise, and may even enhance, operational efficiency.
