Methods of Documentation V: CBE

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...

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:

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...

The Scientific Method in Nursing Process

The Scientific Method in Nursing Process

The scientific method provides the foundation for any research. It is the most reliable and objective of all forms of gaining knowledge and guides in applying research-based evidence in practice and conducting future research.
When using research findings to change practice, one must understand the process used to guide a study. The scientific method is a systematic, step-by-step process that supports the data's validity, reliability, and generalizability. As a result, findings can be safely...

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...

Area of Science:

Healthcare Research
Clinical Decision-Making
Medical Practice

Background:

Evidence-based medicine (EBM) significantly influences healthcare decisions, funding, and interventions.
Limitations of EBM are often under-represented in scientific literature.
Over-reliance on EBM can be problematic due to its inherent shortcomings.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore the development and limitations of EBM.
To consider the complementary role of practice-based evidence.
To bridge the gap between clinical evidence and practice.

Main Methods:

Literature review on the development and shortcomings of EBM.
Analysis of the role of practice-based evidence.
Comparative assessment of EBM and practice-based evidence.

Main Results:

EBM, while valuable, possesses significant limitations.
Practice-based evidence can address some of EBM's shortcomings.
Integrating both evidence types enhances clinical decision-making.

Conclusions:

EBM is an important but not infallible paradigm in healthcare.
Practice-based evidence provides a crucial complementary perspective.
A balanced approach incorporating both EBM and practice-based evidence is optimal for clinical practice.
