Nursing Clinical Information System01:27

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:
Guidelines for Writing Outcome01:11

Guidelines for Writing Outcome

When developing expected outcomes for a patient care plan, the nurse should adhere to the following recommendations:
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care evaluation by...

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:

International Nursing Organization (ICN) is a global union of national nurses' organizations. Individual nurses can be a part of ICN through member organizations. Each member organization strives to ensure quality nursing care, sound health policies, the advancement of nursing knowledge, respect for the profession, and a satisfied and competent nursing workforce.
ICN member organizations work to advance the field of nursing and healthcare via policies, partnerships, lobbying, professional...
Nursing Implementation01:15

The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.
Planning Nursing Care II01:29

Planning Nursing Care II

A nursing care plan can present in two forms: informal and formal. Informal is a care plan for the individual use of the nurse and goals they wish to accomplish during their shift. Informal care plans are not included in the patient chart. A formal nursing care plan is a written or computerized guide that organizes patient care. It is further subdivided into two: standardized and individualized care plans. Standardized care plans are pre-populated care plans for specific patient populations,...

Summary

This study established eight key performance indicators (KPIs) for nursing and midwifery, focusing on patient experience and person-centered care. These novel indicators reflect the unique impact of nursing and midwifery practice.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Nursing and Midwifery Practice
  • Quality Improvement in Healthcare

Background:

  • Growing demand for demonstrating healthcare effectiveness and efficiency at the executive level.
  • Existing literature predominantly covers clinical indicators and nursing metrics, with limited focus on patient experience indicators.
  • Need for relevant metrics aligned with current healthcare policy and practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To achieve consensus on key performance indicators (KPIs) suitable for nursing and midwifery practice within the current policy landscape.
  • To identify and validate indicators that reflect the patient experience and core nursing/midwifery values.
  • To develop a set of measurable indicators for evaluating nursing and midwifery effectiveness.

Main Methods:

  • A consensus-building approach utilizing a nominal group technique.
  • Two-stage process: initial workshop with 50 nursing and midwifery staff, followed by a regional Consensus Conference with 80 participants.
  • Data analysis involved aggregated scores and ranking to prioritize identified indicators.

Main Results:

  • Identification of 38 potential indicators in the initial workshop.
  • Prioritization of eight top-ranked indicators as a core set for nursing and midwifery practice.
  • Validation of the relevance and appropriateness of these eight indicators by practicing nurses, midwives, and service users.

Conclusions:

  • The eight identified KPIs differ from commonly reported nursing metrics in the literature.
  • These indicators are strategically aligned with enhancing patient experience and reflect fundamental, person-centered nursing and midwifery care.
  • Measurement of these KPIs offers an opportunity to evidence the distinct contribution of nursing and midwifery to patient outcomes.
