摘要:

Because more and more health care agencies are becoming computerized, nursing administrators need to increase their knowledge about computer systems. Specifically, they must have at least some basic knowledge regarding the purchase, implementation, and maintenance of systems, because they and their staff are ultimately affected by them. This article describes how one agency managed the implementation of a new computer system and the issues that the nurse administrator faced during this process.

摘要:

Nursing leaders promoting the development and use of computerized databases such as the Nursing Minimum Data Set (NMDS) have not adequately addressed the complex ethical issues involved with computerized information systems. The purpose of this article is to describe the privacy issues involved with the NMDS. Moral considerations and principles guiding resolution of ethical issues concerning violations of patient privacy are discussed. A paradigm case is used to demonstrate the significance of privacy violations in computerized databases. Two security systems currently being considered in other disciplines are included for their relevance to the development of the NMDS. The broader implications concerning the impact of technology on preservation of human dignity and the quality of life are addressed.

摘要:

The number and type of activated patient problems and the number of nursing interventions in computer-supported and manually-generated nursing care plans for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infected patients hospitalized forPneumocystis cariniipneumonia (PCP) were compared. There were significantly more activated patient problems (p= 0.005) and nursing interventions (p= 0.002) listed using the computer-supported care planning system. The top ranked problems in both systems were reflective of the clinical presentation of acute PCP. The problem, potential for increased risk of infection, was activated more frequently using the computer-supported care plan. There were no significant differences in patient outcome as measured by functional status and patients' self-ratings of physical condition ac hospital discharge.

摘要:

A multidisciplinary team has developed a computer-based software program for educating nursing students and other college students about six sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). The program for educating about Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is the first of the six “Smartbooks” to be completed, using the HyperCard Expert System shell on the Macintosh computer. Information is organized within a framework known as a concept map, and the student user progresses through the program in a self-directed way by “clicking” on the portion of the concept map that is of interest. Thus, the knowledge base can be accessed in many different ways, and is not restricted to a linear format. Comparative quantitative analysis using a control program shows consistently better student retention of information presented within the program that features concept maps. Qualitative results indicate that students find the conceptually-arranged knowledge base implicitly easy to understand, “fun” to use, and interesting to explore. Educational theory suggests that the success of such a format may be related to the schematic nature of memory.

摘要:

Students and nursing faculty without formal computer science training can collaborate within an independent study structure to assist the student in gaining experience with the fundamentals of software development. The systems development life cycle approach provides an essential map to structure such independent studies. This article describes the development within an academic setting of a computerized research management system. The software builds a database of research case demographic data and data from a 65-item tool used in scoring videotapes of caregiver-infant interactions. For students and faculty contemplating similar projects, recommendations about planning software development experiences and securing hardware, software, and expert resources are provided.
