Nursing Evaluation

Nursing Evaluation

The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

Long-Term Care Facilities

Nursing Assessment

Nursing Assessment

The two sources for collecting information are primary and secondary. After gathering information, interpretation and validation help to complete the data. The purpose of assessment is to establish data with the initial information, to interpret data about the patient's perceived needs and health problems, and to respond to these problems identified.
The nurse collects all aspects of the patient's health in the initial assessment, establishing priorities for ongoing focused assessments...

Nursing Implementation

Nursing Implementation

Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

Area of Science:

Healthcare Management
Nursing Informatics
Health Economics

Background:

Measuring the value and impact of nursing care on clinical outcomes is difficult.
Current healthcare financial models obscure the contributions of nurses, leaving the cost-quality relationship unknown.
There is a need for novel data and methodologies to quantify the added value of nursing services.

Purpose of the Study:

To define and measure nursing care value.
To present the results and recommendations of an expert workgroup.
To introduce a data model for extracting nursing value metrics from electronic health records.

Main Methods:

Convened an expert workgroup to define nursing care value.
Developed a data model for extracting relevant information from electronic health records (EHRs).
Proposed a set of new analytic metrics for measuring nursing care value.

Main Results:

A framework for defining and measuring nursing care value was established.
A data model enabling EHR data extraction for nursing value assessment was created.
New analytic metrics designed to quantify nursing contributions were proposed.

Conclusions:

The proposed data model and metrics offer a method to articulate the value of nursing care.
This approach can help elucidate the link between nursing input, cost, and quality of patient care.
Further research and implementation of these metrics are recommended to advance healthcare management and nursing practice.
