Current Trends in Nursing II01:30

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 Clinical Information System01:27

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:
Nursing Assessment01:29

Nursing Assessment

The two sources for collecting information are primary and secondary. After gathering information, interpretation and validation help to complete the data. The purpose of assessment is to establish data with the initial information, to interpret data about the patient's perceived needs and health problems, and to respond to these problems identified.
The nurse collects all aspects of the patient's health in the initial assessment, establishing priorities for ongoing focused assessments and...

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
Cost Containment
Payment for healthcare services has historically promoted adoption of costly and often unnecessary or inefficient...
Assessment of apical radial pulse01:25

Assessment of apical radial pulse

Apical-Radial (A-R) Pulse Assessment
The A-R pulse assessment involves simultaneous evaluation of the apical and radial pulses. When the apical and radial pulse rates vary, this assessment helps identify a pulse deficit.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing informatics
  • Healthcare management
  • Operations research

Background:

  • Emergency departments (EDs) experience fluctuating patient volumes and acuity.
  • Accurate assessment of nursing workload across different shifts is crucial for effective staffing.
  • Existing methods for workload assessment often lack objectivity and real-time data integration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and differentiate workload patterns among day, evening, and night shifts in an ED.
  • To provide objective evidence for optimizing nursing workforce allocation in ED settings.
  • To explore the utility of multidimensional, real-world activity data in characterizing nursing workload.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study utilizing real-time data from an ED in Seoul, South Korea.
  • Smartphones, beacons, and smartwatches collected data on nursing time, physical activity, and location transitions over 238 shifts.
  • An eXtreme Gradient Boosting model classified shifts, with Shapely Additive exPlanations identifying key workload drivers.

Main Results:

  • The developed model accurately distinguished between day, evening, and night shifts.
  • Key workload indicators, including admissions, discharges, patient assignments, and nursing time (direct and indirect), varied significantly across shifts.
  • Location transition patterns among nurses remained relatively consistent regardless of the shift.

Conclusions:

  • Multidimensional, real-world nursing activity data can effectively identify and differentiate shift-specific workload patterns in EDs.
  • Findings support the development of data-driven staffing strategies to enhance ED efficiency and care quality.
  • This study provides objective evidence to inform workforce management decisions for emergency nursing.
