Abstract:
This article describes the development process and application of the Pediatric Nursing-Clinical Decision Support System for Hyperthermia. Firstly, we formed the Pediatric Nursing-Knowledge Base for Hyperthermia, which combines publicly available clinical practice guidelines and nursing routines of hyperthermia management. Then, following the nursing process framework, the system was developed using clinical decision support technology. Finally, a pre- and post-test were adopted to examine the effectiveness, usability, and feasibility before (1st to 31st of August 2018) and after (1st to 31st of December 2019) using the system. Its effectiveness was examined by analysis of nursing records' quality, including completeness of nursing assessment, timeliness of nursing diagnosis, individualization of nursing interventions, and timeliness of nursing evaluation. Its usability and feasibility were assessed using the Clinical Nursing Information System Effectiveness Evaluation Scale. There was a significant difference between the two groups in effectiveness, usability, and feasibility. Although the system was developed specifically for our hospital workflow and processes, the Pediatric Nursing-Knowledge Base for Hyperthermia and workflow for hyperthermia management in this study can be used as a reference to other hospitals.
