Additional
Requirements : Nursing in Hospital
Version 0.3, Etiene Saliez /
- Nursing inside hospitals:
- Introduction:
- There is no reason why doctors and nurses would continue to
develop separated patient record systems. Here again the question
is to identify what is common around a "patient centric record",
and to add some some aspects in function of specific needs.
- Nurses look at "problems lists" in a different way:
- Focus on workflow issues. Scheduling tasks. Control of what is
done and still to be done.
- Nurses think about a whole"patient", while some specialists have
a tendency to think only about a hip, a knee, a cirrhosis.
- Focus on the validity of the patient, as abilities to move, to
take food, etc... and at dependencies. This means a checklist,
which can be seen as a kind of problem list in which normal
findings about potential Health Issues are systematically recorded.
Unlike doctors who record only the abnormal issues, when they
record a problem list all.
- Also about consequence for the nursing work load.
- Several nursing classifications are in use, e.g. the scales of
Katz, RAI, Nanda, NMDS, MVG/RIM, ICNP, ...
- The same common generic software about problem list can be used
for nurses too. The difference is mainly a question of
presentation.
