摘要:

A joint project team consisting of personnel from Parkview Episcopal Medical Center, Pueblo, Colorado, and Patient Care Technologies, Atlanta, Georgia, a software vendor, codeveloped a point-of-care based system of electronic patient records and administrative data capture for home health care. Well established continuous quality improvement techniques, in use at Parkview for approximately 6 years, guided the development project and the subsequent alpha and beta testing of the system. Significant results to date include an overall productivity gain approaching 20%, the potential to increase annual home care revenue $876,000 with the same staffing level, and an 83% reduction in billing errors. Although not directly measured as a part of the study, the project team believes the quality of charting has improved because it is now done at the point-of-care in the home rather than in the office—some period of time after care is delivered. Anticipated future development includes integration of the home care clinical record with the hospital's clinical data repository and explicit support of critical pathways.

摘要:

This article describes a clinical information system developed for ambulatory care nurse practitioners. An overview of the clinical information system is presented, followed by a detailed description. The clinical information system uses the relational database structure proposed by Hettinger and Brazile (1992), and creates a longitudinal electronic health care record. The database design includes the Nursing Minimum Data Set and provides links to external aggregate data sets such as the U. S. Census data. Special features are discussed such as the ability to select from several problem classification schemes, including North American Nursing Diagnosis Association, Omaha, and International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision; insert new menu selections whenever needed; create and track groups; and store detailed outcome data. A brief summary of implementation considerations is included.

摘要:

Nurses and other health professionals have recognized the exponential increase in published nursing, medical, scientific, and allied health literature. The Internet is adding more information to that expanse. Information specialists and librarians have noted that although a virtually limitless range of health information is present on the Internet's discussion lists, file transfer protocol, telnet, gopher, and World Wide Web sites, computer users are just beginning to use the “information superhighway.” This article describes the uses of the Internet while providing practical information addressing questions of connecting to the network and searching its most useful features.

摘要:

This article describes factors that contribute to the effectiveness of computer-assisted instruction as a teaching strategy. According to the literature reviewed, three major variables that can influence computer-assisted instruction are the quality of the software programs, the environment of use of the computer; and the characteristics of the learner. The nurse educator should be aware of the significance of each variable to provide an optimal learning experience for the students.

摘要:

The new developments in computer technology are changing the way training professionals look at computer-assisted instruction [CAI]. Nursing educators and practitioners can plan on CAI capabilities that will be both possible and economical as well as within the reach of most organizations. Health care delivery may not be in a position to forego multimedia training as part of its repertoire. In this article, we review interactive video instruction as a multimedia tool in nursing education with an emphasis on the new developments in hardware and software technology. In particular, we examine the changing role of CD-ROM technology and how it has become a tool to change the face of CAI. We define the current status and future trends in CAI and interactive video instruction for nursing education. Several key definitions are introduced to reflect the new direction of multimedia in nursing education.

摘要:

This is the third and last article in the series addressing the Computer-based Patient Record (CPR) as an essential technology for health care. This article, part of the 1995 Applied Information Technology series, addresses the various CPR trends observed by the authors over the last several years. Specific focus is directed toward trends related to various attributes and key underpinnings as described in the preceding articles. The first article in this series, appearing in the March/April 1995 issue ofComputers in Nursing,provided background and other relevant information on CPR design, development, and status. The second article, appearing in the May/June 1995 issue, addressed the Institute of Medicine's (IOM) CPR attributes, defined subattributes for each, and identified five key “underpinnings” required to support a robust CPR.
