Current Trends in Nursing II

Current Trends in Nursing II

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

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.

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:

Area of Science:

Healthcare Management
Nursing Informatics
Process Automation

Background:

Effective nurse scheduling is crucial for patient safety, nurse well-being, and regulatory compliance.
Current scheduling methods often face challenges in accuracy and incorporating nurse preferences.
National guidelines emphasize the need for optimized nurse scheduling systems.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate a robotic process automation (RPA)-based system for nurse scheduling.
The goal was to enhance schedule accuracy, accommodate nurse preferences, and ensure alignment with national guidelines.
To assess the impact of RPA on nurses' work characteristics, health status, and work-life balance.

Main Methods:

A quasi-experimental design involving 102 nurses in a 500-bed hospital.
Integration of an RPA system into nurse managers' workflows for automated monthly shift planning.
Analysis of pre- and post-intervention data on work-life balance, health, and work characteristics using statistical tests.

Main Results:

The RPA-based scheduling system demonstrated a significant improvement in nurses' work-life balance.
No statistically significant differences were observed in nurses' health status or general work characteristics.
The system successfully automated shift planning while incorporating nurse-submitted preferences.

Conclusions:

Robotic process automation (RPA) integration in nurse scheduling positively impacts work-life balance.
The findings suggest RPA can facilitate fairer scheduling practices within healthcare settings.
Wider adoption and supportive policies are recommended for sustained benefits and improved patient care quality.
