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:

Pulse rhythm

Pulse rhythm

Pulse rhythm refers to the pattern of pulsations within specific intervals, offering valuable insights into the regularity or irregularity of the heart's beats as observed through the pattern of pulsation within specific intervals. A regular pulse exhibits a consistent heart rate with uniform waveforms and pulsation force, variations of which can be classified as normal, weak, or bounding.
Conversely, an irregular pulse pattern is termed dysrhythmia, stemming from disruptions in cardiac...

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.

Field Application of Global Positioning System

Field Application of Global Positioning System

The Global Positioning System (GPS) has become an indispensable tool in fieldwork, offering unparalleled precision and efficiency for surveying, navigation, and infrastructure development. By harnessing signals from a constellation of satellites, GPS receivers determine the location of objects with remarkable speed and accuracy, often completing calculations within a second.Advantages of Modern GPS TechnologyContemporary GPS receivers are designed to meet the practical demands of field...

Design Example: Identifying the Locations of Monuments in the Field Using Global Positioning System Device

Surveyors use Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to measure the precise location and elevation of points on Earth. In a recent survey, GPS receivers were used to determine the coordinates and elevations of two park monuments. The process involved careful mission planning, data collection, and correction to ensure accuracy. The survey began with mission planning to identify optimal satellite visibility and minimize Position Dilution of Precision (PDOP). A geodetic control point...

Area of Science:

Health Informatics
Nursing Technology
Wearable Technology

Background:

Lack of objective measurement methods for nursing workload.
Need for empirical data to quantify nursing workload.
Existing methods do not provide real-time workload insights.

Purpose of the Study:

Develop a system for objective nursing workload measurement.
Utilize beacons and smartphone technology for real-time location tracking.
Provide empirical data for nursing workload assessment.

Main Methods:

Technological development of a beacon and smartphone system.
Validation through walk-through tests to assess beacon recognition rates.
Determination of optimal beacon and smartphone configurations for accuracy.

Main Results:

A four-component system (data-generation devices, nurse devices, servers, databases) was developed.
Optimal beacon recognition rates achieved: 97.5% with 12 beacons, 96.2% with 15 beacons per smartphone.
Higher numbers of beacons/smartphones decreased recognition rates, indicating an optimal configuration is necessary.

Conclusions:

The developed system accurately provides real-time nurses' location information.
This system enables objective measurement of nursing workload.
Potential applications include tracking movement paths and distances for workload analysis.
