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:

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
Cost Containment
Payment for healthcare services has historically promoted adoption of costly and often unnecessary or inefficient...

Methods of Documentation VII: EMR

Methods of Documentation VII: EMR

Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) primarily center around electronically documenting patients' health information within a single healthcare organization or practice. They contain essential clinical data related to a patient's medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, lab results, and other pertinent information relevant to the specific encounter or episode of care. EMRs are designed to streamline documentation and workflow processes within individual healthcare...

Secondary Healthcare System

Secondary Healthcare System

Secondary healthcare is offered by a specialist, generally in hospitals or clinics for patients referred by primary healthcare providers. It occurs when a person has an illness or injury that requires specific medical care. Secondary care is often referred to as acute care. Secondary care can range from uncomplicated care to repair a minor laceration or treat a strep throat infection to more complicated emergent care, such as treating a head injury sustained in an automobile accident. Whatever...

Guidelines and Strategies for Safe Computer Charting

Guidelines and Strategies for Safe Computer Charting

The guidelines and strategies provided by the American Nurses Association (ANA) and the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) offer essential principles for ensuring safe and secure computer charting systems in healthcare settings. Let's break down each recommendation:
Maintain Confidentiality and Security:

Tertiary Healthcare System

Tertiary Healthcare System

Specialized care provided over an extended period is called tertiary care. Usually, a primary or secondary care physician will refer a patient to tertiary care. A patient's maximum physical and mental function is restored in tertiary care, which is caused due to the impact of a chronic illness or condition. Tertiary care aims to achieve the highest level of functioning possible while managing chronic illness. For example, a patient who falls and fractures their hip will need secondary care...

Area of Science:

Medical Informatics
Healthcare Management
Surgical Education

Background:

Long work hours negatively impact junior doctors' performance, mood, and job satisfaction.
These effects can compromise patient safety and the quality of care.
House officers in general surgery frequently spend non-rostered time manually recording clinical investigation results.

Purpose of the Study:

To reduce the non-rostered workload of surgical house officers.
To improve the efficiency of accessing clinical results during ward rounds.
To assess the impact of mobile device use on workload and workflow.

Main Methods:

A quality improvement project was implemented at Tauranga Hospital's general surgery department.
House officers trialed mobile devices for real-time access to clinical results during ward rounds.
Non-rostered time spent on recording results was measured before and after the intervention.

Main Results:

Non-rostered work was sustainably reduced from a median of 28-33 minutes to 15 minutes per day per house officer.
This equates to a weekly saving of 75 minutes of non-rostered work per house officer.
The intervention was sustained for over seven weeks, including a rotation changeover, with no perceived negative impact on ward round speed or flow.

Conclusions:

Mobile device implementation significantly reduces non-rostered workload for surgical house officers.
Real-time access to clinical results via mobile devices enhances efficiency and timeliness.
This intervention shows potential for improving junior doctor well-being and patient care quality.
