Documentation of Nursing Diagnosis

Documentation of Nursing Diagnosis

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 assessment...

Brain Imaging

Brain Imaging

Brain imaging technologies provide critical insights into both the structure and function of the human brain, enabling medical professionals and researchers to diagnose, study, and treat neurological disorders or psychiatric disorders more effectively.
These technologies include computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).

Examination of synthetic reasoning models simulating expert clinical behavior.

Main Results:

Computer programs effectively extend physician memory and knowledge resources.
Systems excel in narrow medical domains with strong pathophysiologic understanding and laboratory data.
Synthetic reasoning models show promise for supporting decisions in multi-disease scenarios.

Conclusions:

Computers serve as valuable extensions of physician capabilities in clinical decision-making.
The success of computer systems is contingent on the clarity and data-driven nature of the medical domain.
Challenges remain regarding consensus and authority of information used in all systems.
