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 (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:
The Scientific Method in Nursing Process01:18

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...

Background:

  • Qualitative case study research has increased, but methods are often underreported.
  • Existing research frequently follows Robert Yin's postpositivist principles.
  • Robert Stake's constructivist approach is often overlooked or combined inappropriately with Yin's.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the application of Robert Stake's case study methodology.
  • To explore the implementation of a falls-prevention best-practice guideline.
  • To highlight congruence with Stake's recommendations and philosophical assumptions.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Stake's constructivist case study approach.
  • Focused on methodological decisions and their alignment with Stake's principles.
  • Embedded research decisions within the context of the phenomenon studied.

Main Results:

  • Detailed description of decisions made during the case study.
  • Rationale provided for methodological choices based on Stake's framework.
  • Identification of lessons learned from applying Stake's approach.

Conclusions:

  • Stake's constructivist approach offers a valuable framework for qualitative case studies.
  • Understanding philosophical underpinnings is crucial for appropriate method selection.
  • This study provides a practical example of applying Stake's methods in health services research.
