Documentation in Long-Term and Home Healthcare Setting01:29

Documentation in Long-Term and Home Healthcare Setting

Documentation in long-term care facilities and home healthcare settings is crucial for ensuring continuous, coordinated, and comprehensive care for patients. Each setting has its specific documentation processes and tools:

Current Trends in Nursing II01:30

Current Trends in Nursing II

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Methods of Documentation VII: EMR

Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) primarily center around electronically documenting patients' health information within a single healthcare organization or practice. They contain essential clinical data related to a patient's medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, lab results, and other pertinent information relevant to the specific encounter or episode of care. EMRs are designed to streamline documentation and workflow processes within individual healthcare settings,...

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 Evaluation01:15

Nursing Evaluation

The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Health Informatics
  • Clinical Pharmacy

Background:

  • Nursing homes face increasing demands due to a growing elderly population, rising quality expectations, and greater clinical complexity.
  • Innovative strategies, including modern clinical information systems with decision support, are essential for addressing these challenges.
  • Electronic patient record systems offer potential solutions for improving care delivery in long-term care settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of implementing an electronic patient record (EPR) system with integrated decision support.
  • To assess changes in the prescribing of warfarin and neuroleptics, and the frequency of patient weighing.
  • To determine the system's effect on quality monitoring and treatment policies in nursing homes.

Main Methods:

  • A prevalence study was conducted across seven nursing homes, involving 513 residents.
  • A before-and-after study design with internal controls was employed to assess intervention effects.
  • Data collection focused on medication use (warfarin, neuroleptics) and patient weight monitoring.

Main Results:

  • The prevalence of atrial fibrillation was 18.8% across the participating nursing homes.
  • Following EPR implementation, warfarin use increased significantly (3.0% to 9.8%, P=0.0086), and neuroleptic use decreased (33.0% to 21.5%, P=0.0121).
  • The proportion of patients not weighed dropped dramatically (72.6% to 16.0%, P<0.0001), with no significant changes in internal controls.

Conclusions:

  • Electronic health record systems with decision support can enhance the quality of care in nursing homes.
  • The system facilitates continuous generation of statistics and management data for work process monitoring.
  • Implementation improves drug therapy management and supports the monitoring of treatment policies.
