01:10Documentation of Nursing Diagnosis
1.8K
The nurse documents nursing diagnoses and enters them into the patient record. The identified patient's nursing diagnosis is either written out with a plan of care or entered into the electronic health record.
In some settings, data-driven computerized decision support systems are in place, allowing for more accurate nursing diagnoses. The database within one of these systems includes diagnostic labels defining characteristics, activities, and indicators for nursing. A nurse enters...

Following assessment, a nursing diagnosis is the next step in the nursing process. It begins after the nurse has collected and recorded the patient data. The purpose of diagnosing is to identify how the client responds to actual or potential health processes, identify factors that bestow or that cause health problems, the etiologies, and identify resources or strengths the individual, group, or community can draw on to prevent or resolve problems.

01:26Guidelines for Nursing Documentation II
2.0K
Effective documentation is an integral part of nursing practice. Here are some essential guidelines to follow when documenting patient care:
Timely documentation is crucial to ensure continuity of care for patients. Any delays in recording or reporting medical information can result in medical errors and even adverse patient outcomes. From medication administration to diagnostic test results, every detail must be accurately and promptly documented to provide the best possible care for patients.

Nursing diagnoses represent a problem validated by major defining characteristics. There are four categories of nursing diagnoses: problem-focused, risk, health promotion or wellness, and syndrome. The anatomy of a nursing diagnosis includes three components: problem statement or diagnostic label, defining characteristics, and related factors.

Leveraging the delay in ICD-10.
Summary
The International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) delay requires organizations to maintain momentum in most readiness programs. However, staff education efforts should be timed closer to the new October 2015 deadline due to information retention challenges.
Area of Science:
- Healthcare Administration
- Health Informatics
Background:
- The International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) implementation deadline was postponed by one year to October 2015.
- Organizations were actively preparing for the original 2014 start date, necessitating a review of their readiness strategies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To advise organizations on adjusting their ICD-10 readiness programs in response to the implementation delay.
- To identify critical areas where momentum should be maintained and where adjustments are advisable.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of project management principles in the context of healthcare regulatory changes.
- Evaluation of staff training methodologies and knowledge retention challenges.
Main Results:
- Organizations should continue progressing with most ICD-10 readiness initiatives to prevent loss of momentum and duplicated efforts.
- Staff education and training require strategic timing, ideally closer to the revised October 2015 deadline, to optimize learning and retention of complex information.
Conclusions:
- Maintaining momentum in key ICD-10 readiness areas is crucial despite the delay.
- A strategic approach to staff education, considering cognitive load and retention, is essential for successful implementation.
