1Research Institute of Nursing Science, Seoul National University, Jongno-gu, Korea.
This scoping review examines clinical decision support systems (CDSS) for optimal nurse-patient assignment (NPA). Findings will inform improved patient care and nursing efficiency through evidence-based implementation strategies.
Area of Science:
- Healthcare Management
- Nursing Informatics
- Clinical Decision Support
Background:
- Optimal nurse-to-patient assignment (NPA) is critical for patient outcomes and nursing workload management.
- Implementing clinical decision support systems (CDSS) can enhance decision-making in NPA.
- This review addresses the intricate factors influencing effective NPA.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the implementation of CDSS in the decision-making process for optimal nurse-patient assignment (NPA).
- To identify and synthesize findings from existing research on CDSS application in NPA.
Main Methods:
- A scoping review following the Arksey and O'Malley framework and PRISMA-ScR guidelines.
- Comprehensive literature search across six major bibliographic databases (PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, IEEE Xplore, Scopus, ProQuest).
- Thematic analysis for qualitative data and descriptive statistics for quantitative data.
Main Results:
- This section is to be populated upon study completion in December 2024.
Conclusions:
- This section is to be populated upon study completion in December 2024.
