Book Description

Publication Date: March 1996 | ISBN-10: 0874348358 | ISBN-13: 978-0874348354

The definitive account of nursing's strides toward putting more nursing-related data into large national databases and fostering the development of a common language to represent nursing practice in all settings. Experts discuss integration of this information into other health care disciplines, its management to ensure nursing's input, enhancement of the quality of patient care, the facilitation of accountability, and assistance in cost containment. Contents include standardizing nursing language for computerization; decision-support systems for nurse managers; the use of information systems in strategic planning and a managed competitive environment; JCAHO standards for information systems; information systems to measure the cost and quality of patient-centered outcomes; staffing, scheduling, and resource management; quality improvement through clinical information systems; electronic networking for nurses; and ethical issues in the management of patient data.
