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:

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis

The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.
It is critical to determine the patient's learning needs during the assessment. Determination of learning needs compounds data...

Fundamentals of Nursing Process II

Fundamentals of Nursing Process II

There are several characteristics related to delivering nursing care. One vital characteristic of the nursing process is that it can be used to protect nurses and justify the provided care. Productive use of the nursing process requires the knowledge and skills of nurses to assess and solve issues. Nurses should develop and strengthen their critical thinking skills and evidence-based nursing interventions to improve their skills in formulating nursing care plans. A well-defined approach to...

Patient-centered Care

Patient-centered Care

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Pulmonary Embolism II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

Pulmonary Embolism II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

Diagnosing Pulmonary EmbolismDiagnosing pulmonary embolism (PE) involves clinical assessment and advanced imaging tests. The preferred diagnostic tool is the spiral (helical) CT scan or CT angiography (CTA), which uses intravenous contrast media to visualize the pulmonary vasculature and identify emboli.A ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scan is an alternative for patients unable to receive contrast media. This scan includes both perfusion and ventilation scanning. Perfusion scanning involves...

Assessment of the Cardiovascular System III: Palpation

Assessment of the Cardiovascular System III: Palpation

Palpation involves feeling the body to evaluate texture, size, consistency, and tenderness for assessing cardiovascular health. The following steps are organized in a head-to-toe order:
Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP) Measurement
Position the patient at a thirty- to forty-five-degree angle or in a semi-fowler's position. Look for the highest point of pulsation in the internal jugular vein and measure the vertical distance to the angle of Loius or sternal angle. A normal JVP is 3-4 cm above...

Using a virtual patient in an advanced assessment course.

The Journal of Nursing Education

|February 19, 2015

Summary

Digital Clinical Experience (DCE), a virtual patient, was integrated into advanced assessment courses. This innovative approach allowed for structured practice and evaluation of essential patient assessment skills, enhancing student learning outcomes.

Area of Science:

Medical Education
Digital Health
Clinical Skills Training

Background:

A virtual patient, Digital Clinical Experience (DCE), was integrated into an advanced assessment course.
This integration aimed to address limitations in traditional clinical skills assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the feasibility and impact of using a virtual patient in an advanced assessment course.
To assess the effectiveness of DCE in evaluating students' history taking and physical examination skills.

Main Methods:

Students performed systems-based physical examinations on the DCE.
Faculty reviewed student-generated transcripts to assess the logical progression of examinations.
DCE modules constituted a significant portion of the laboratory requirement and course grade.

Main Results:

DCE facilitated structured practice and evaluation of advanced assessment skills.
The virtual patient allowed for assessment of skills previously limited by time and cost.
Faculty customized DCE modules to align with specific course objectives.

Conclusions:

Virtual patients, like DCE, offer a valuable tool for enhancing clinical skills education.
Further research is warranted to explore the full impact of virtual patients on student learning in clinical courses.
