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:

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:

Integrated Healthcare System

Integrated Healthcare System

An integrated healthcare system (IHS) is a set of organizations that provides for or arranges to provide coordinated and continuous service to a defined population. The IHS takes responsibility for that particular population's health status and outcome, both clinically and fiscally. An integrated healthcare system is a well-organized, well-coordinated, and collaborative network. The integrated delivery system is a network that connects different healthcare providers to deliver organized,...

Automated Microbial Diagnostics

Automated Microbial Diagnostics

Automated diagnostic analyzers have transformed clinical microbiology by providing rapid and reliable methods for pathogen identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing. Among these systems, the Vitek 2 is widely used because it automates the traditionally labor-intensive processes of microbial identification (ID) and antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST), delivering standardized and timely results that are essential for effective patient care.Microbial Identification with ID CardsThe...

Dosage Regimens: Designs and Approaches

Dosage Regimens: Designs and Approaches

Designing a dosage regimen, which refers to the manner of drug administration, is a complex process involving the selection of drug dose, route, and frequency. This process is underpinned by pharmacokinetic parameters derived from tests and population averages. These parameters are then tailored to patient-specific variables such as diagnosis, demographics, and allergy status. Once therapy commences, therapeutic response monitoring is critical and achieved through clinical and physical...

Dosage Interval and Administration Route: Determination Methods

Dosage Interval and Administration Route: Determination Methods

A medication’s effectiveness largely depends on its appropriate dosage and the route of administration. Dosage ensures that a sufficient drug concentration is maintained in the bloodstream to elicit the desired therapeutic effect without causing toxicity. The route of administration affects the drug's bioavailability, rate of absorption, and onset of action, which are crucial for achieving optimal therapeutic outcomes. Drug dosage calculations are critical to tailoring therapy to individual...

Area of Science:

Clinical Informatics
Oncology Nursing
Health Information Systems

Background:

Chemotherapy administration is complex, with paper-based methods lacking decision support and safety checks.
Established guidelines by the American Society of Clinical Oncology and Oncology Nursing Society (ASCO/ONS) dictate safe chemotherapy administration procedures.
Electronic medication administration, including bar coding, offers enhanced safety and structured documentation.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the specialized configuration of clinical informatics systems for electronic chemotherapy medication administration.
To detail the integration of various healthcare IT systems for a comprehensive electronic chemotherapy administration process.
To evaluate the system's adaptation to oncology-specific documentation requirements.

Main Methods:

Configured integrated clinical informatics systems linking patient registration, order entry, pharmacy, nursing documentation, and electronic health records.
Deployed the electronic system across adult and pediatric inpatient oncology, hematology, and bone marrow transplant units.
Adapted the system to meet ASCO/ONS guidelines for chemotherapy administration documentation.

Main Results:

Successful deployment of electronic chemotherapy administration infrastructure in inpatient settings.
Demonstrated adaptation of the system to meet ASCO/ONS oncology-specific documentation requirements.
Identified limitations in recording treatment day and dose number.

Conclusions:

The configured electronic systems promote compliance with ASCO/ONS guidelines, improving documentation consistency and team communication.
The success in inpatient settings has led to plans for outpatient chemotherapy infusion center deployment.
Outpatient deployment will necessitate addressing unique considerations for that setting.
