Summary
Evidence-based standardized care plans (EB-SCPs) were developed for international home care practice. These plans aim to enhance population health outcomes and provide a foundation for future research.
Area of Science:
- Nursing
- Public Health
- Health Services Research
Background:
- Home care practice requires standardized approaches to ensure quality and improve population health.
- International collaboration is essential for developing universally applicable healthcare standards.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop evidence-based standardized care plans (EB-SCPs) for international home care.
- To enhance home care practice and improve global population health outcomes.
Main Methods:
- A scholarly method involving clinical experts from multiple countries.
- Literature reviews and the Omaha System were used to develop EB-SCPs.
- Public comment periods and consensus were incorporated into the revision process.
Main Results:
- EB-SCPs were developed by international clinical experts and researchers.
- Twelve core Omaha System problems were identified for elderly and disabled patients.
- The EB-SCPs are available online for global dissemination and use.
Conclusions:
- Successfully developed and published home care EB-SCPs provide a shared standard.
- These EB-SCPs support practice, research, and documentation in home care.
- The development process serves as a model for creating evidence-based practice standards globally.

01:29Planning 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,...

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:

01:21Planning Nursing Care I
The planning phase of the nursing process helps nurses set priorities, outline patient-centered goals and expected outcomes, and tailor nursing interventions to align with the aligned care plan. Through the planning phase, the nurse applies critical thinking skills to align and develop interventions according to the patient's needs. It provides continuity of care allowing patients to receive the maximum benefit from treatment. It serves as a pilot plan for allocating individual staff to a...
01:11Guidelines 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...

01:26Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System
At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is limited...
