After three years of dedicated effort, the IT department of General Hospital announces that it completed integration of all 45 of the lab, medication management, orders management, scheduling, and...

Nursing Classification Systems: Necessary but not Sufficient for Representing “What Nurses Do” for Inclusion in Computer-based Patient Record Systems

Henry, Suzanne Bakken, Mead, Charles N.

Our premise is that from the perspective of maximum flexibility of data usage by computer-based record (CPR) systems, existing nursing classification systems are necessary, but not sufficient, for...
