Contributions of representing the elements of nursing practice in the ISO 18.104:2023 standard: a theoretical study.

OBJECTIVE: To reflect on the contributions of representing nursing practice elements in the ISO 18.104:2023 standard. METHOD: This is a theoretical study with standard analysis. Categorical structures were described to represent nursing practice in terminological systems and contributions identified in the parts of the version were analyzed. RESULTS: There is innovation in the inclusion of nurse sensitive outcomes, nursing action, nursing diagnosis explanation as an indicator of nursing service demand and complexity of care, representation of concepts through mental maps and suggestion of use of restriction models for nursing actions. It describes that the Nursing Process is constituted by nursing diagnosis, nursing action and nurse sensitive outcomes. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: Indicating a nursing diagnosis as an indicator will bring benefits for knowledge production and decision-making. Although care outcomes are not exclusive responses to nursing action, the modifiable attributes of a nursing diagnosis generate knowledge about clinical practice, nursing action effectiveness and subjects of care' health state. There is coherence in understanding the Nursing Process concept evolution.

Nurses' perception of the nursing process and its relationship with leadership.

OBJECTIVES: to describe Nurses' perception of the Nursing Process and its relationship with leadership. METHODS: action research conducted between September/2021 and April/2022 with nurses from a medium-sized hospital in southern Brazil. The data investigated, one of the stages of the method, was collected using the Focus Group technique and submitted to Strategic Focus Analysis. RESULTS: three categories emerged from the organized and analyzed data, namely: Nursing Process: a tool that qualifies nursing care; Conditions that weaken the Nursing Process; and Strategies that enhance the Systematization of Nursing Care. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: the perception of the Nursing Process and its relationship with leadership are not always understood as complementary themes. Although they recognize that the Nursing Process is sometimes imposed as normative, nurses do not perceive the importance of the role of the leader, who is considered a key player in conducting and boosting the Systematization of Nursing Care.

Design and implementation of an automatic nursing assessment system based on CDSS technology.

BACKGROUND: Various quantitative and quality assessment tools are currently used in nursing to evaluate a patient's physiological, psychological, and socioeconomic status. The results play important roles in evaluating the efficiency of healthcare, improving the treatment plans, and lowing relevant clinical risks. However, the manual process of the assessment imposes a substantial burden and can lead to errors in digitalization. To fill these gaps, we proposed an automatic nursing assessment system based on clinical decision support system (CDSS). The framework underlying the CDSS included experts, evaluation criteria, and voting roles for selecting electronic assessment sheets over paper ones. METHODS: We developed the framework based on an expert voting flow to choose electronic assessment sheets. The CDSS was constructed based on a nursing process workflow model. A multilayer architecture with independent modules was used. The performance of the proposed system was evaluated by comparing the adverse events' incidence and the average time for regular daily assessment before and after the implementation. RESULTS: After implementation of the system, the adverse nursing events' incidence decreased significantly from 0.43 % to 0.37 % in the first year and further to 0.27 % in the second year (p-value: 0.04). Meanwhile, the median time for regular daily assessments further decreased from 63 s to 51 s. CONCLUSIONS: The automatic assessment system helps to reduce nurses' workload and the incidence of adverse nursing events.

Diagnostic concordance among nursing clinical decision support system users: a pilot study.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the nursing diagnostic concordance among users of a clinical decision support system (CDSS), The Electronic Documentation System of the Nursing Process of the University of São Paulo (PROCEnf-USP®), structured according to the Nanda International, Nursing Intervention Classification and Nursing Outcome Classification (NNN) Taxonomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This pilot, exploratory-descriptive study was conducted from September 2017 to January 2018. Participants were nurses, nurse residents, and nursing undergraduates. Two previously validated written clinical case studies provided participants with comprehensive initial assessment clinical data to be registered in PROCEnf-USP®. After having registered the clinical data in PROCEnf-USP®, participants could either select diagnostic hypotheses offered by the system or add diagnoses not suggested by the system. A list of nursing diagnoses documented by the participants was extracted from the system. The concordance was analyzed by Light's Kappa (K). RESULTS: The research study included 37 participants, which were 14 nurses, 10 nurse residents, and 13 nursing undergraduates. Of the 43 documented nursing diagnoses, there was poor concordance (K = 0.224) for the diagnosis "Ineffective airway clearance" (00031), moderate (K = 0.591) for "Chronic pain" (00133), and elevated (K = 0.655) for "Risk for unstable blood glucose level" (00179). The other nursing diagnoses had poor or no concordance. DISCUSSION: Clinical reasoning skills are essential for the meaningful use of the CDSS. CONCLUSIONS: There was concordance for only 3 nursing diagnoses related to biological needs. The low level of concordance might be related to the clinical judgment skills of the participants, the written cases, and the sample size.

Clinical decision-making and the nursing process in digital health systems: An integrated systematic review.

AIMS: To identify how the nursing process (assessment, planning, intervention and outcome evaluation) has been incorporated into digital health systems (electronic medical records, electronic care plans and clinical decision support systems) to gain an understanding of known benefits and challenges posed to nurses' decision-making processes. BACKGROUND: Nursing terminologies, including the International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP), and Nursing Minimum Data Set's (NMDS), have been developed to improve standardised language integration of components of nursing care into digital systems. However, there is limited evidence regarding whether the complete nursing process is effectively being incorporated into digital health systems. METHODS: An integrative systematic review following PRISMA guidelines. A search strategy was applied to extract articles from included databases: CINAHL, MEDLINE, SCOPUS and Web of Science Core Collection. Articles were limited to English language and published January 2007-March 2022 and assessed using a pre-determined eligibility criteria. Quality assessment and a narrative synthesis were conducted. RESULTS: A total of 3321 articles were identified, and 27 studies included. There were (n = 10) qualitative, (n = 4) quantitative non-randomised controlled trials, (n = 3) quantitative descriptive studies and (n = 10) mixed methods. Nurse assessment and planning components were the most comprehensive phases incorporated into digital health systems, and interventions and outcome evaluation were scarcely reported. CONCLUSIONS: Inadequate capture of nursing work is a problem unresolved by digital health systems. This omission may be hindering nurse clinical decision-making for patient care and limiting the visibility of the nursing role in health care interventions and the associated impact on patient outcomes. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: Further research is needed on how digital systems can support nurses to apply the full nursing process and to further evaluate patient outcomes. Digital systems can support health-service level evaluation through capturing missed nursing care and the consequences on patients utilising nurse-sensitive-outcomes; however, this is not yet being realised.

Utilizing standardized nursing terminologies in implementing an AI-powered fall-prevention tool to improve patient outcomes: a multihospital study.

OBJECTIVES: Standardized nursing terminologies (SNTs) are necessary to ensure consistent knowledge expression and compare the effectiveness of nursing practice across settings. This study investigated whether SNTs can support semantic interoperability and outcoming tracking over time by implementing an AI-powered CDS tool for fall prevention across multiple EMR systems. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study involved 3 tertiary academic hospitals and 1 public hospital with different EMR systems and nursing terms, and employed an AI-powered CDS tool that determines the fall risk within the next hour (prediction model) and recommends tailored care plans (CDS functions; represented by SNTs). The prediction model was mapped to local data elements and optimized using local data sets. The local nursing statements in CDS functions were mapped using an ICNP-based inpatient fall-prevention catalog. Four implementation models were compared, and patient outcomes and nursing activities were observed longitudinally at one site. RESULTS: The postimplementation approach was practical for disseminating the AI-powered CDS tool for nursing. The 4 hospitals successfully implemented prediction models with little performance variation; the AUROCs were 0.8051-0.9581. The nursing process data contributed markedly to fall-risk predictions. The local nursing statements on preventing falls covered 48.0%-86.7% of statements. There was no significant longitudinal decrease in the fall rate (P = .160, 95% CI = -1.21 to 0.21 per 1000 hospital days), but rates of interventions provided by nurses were notably increased. CONCLUSION: SNTs contributed to achieving semantic interoperability among multiple EMR systems to disseminate AI-powered CDS tools and automatically track nursing and patient outcomes.

CONCLUSION: Positive feedback from all involved user groups on project goal, results and involvement in the process.

Electronic Health Records as Information Source in Assessment of the Effectiveness of Delivered Care - A Pilot Study.

Effectiveness is a key element of high quality health services. The aim of this pilot study was to explore the potential of electronic health records (EHR) as an information source for assessing the effectiveness of nursing care by investigating the appearance of nursing processes in the documentation of care. Deductive and inductive content analysis were used in a manual annotation of ten patients' EHRs. The analysis resulted in the identification of 229 documented nursing processes. The results indicate that EHRs can be used in decision support systems for assessing effectiveness of nursing care, however, future work is needed to verify these findings in a larger data set and extend to other dimensions related to care quality.

Resumo: Objetivou-se desenvolver o protótipo de um software para avaliação clínica de enfermeiros, no serviço de saúde da penitenciária federal de segurança máxima de Porto Velho, Brasil. Como método, seguiram-se os moldes da pesquisa metodológica de produção tecnológica, que teve como cenário uma penitenciária federal, e foi desenvolvida em duas fases: fase 1, denominada fase exploratória, que incluiu três etapas: a) revisão de literatura; b) informações obtidas dos participantes sobre o conhecimento da avaliação clínica; c) análise dos dados; fase 2, denominada de fase de desenvolvimento do modelo de prototipação, o qual seguiu o ciclo de vida de desenvolvimento de sistema, dividido em três etapas: análise e especificação; desenvolvimento; e manutenção, propostas por Pressman (2011). Como produto, obteve-se o protótipo do software intitulado AVALIA TIS - SPF, com características dinâmicas que inclui módulos de cadastro e login do usuário; identificação do paciente; histórico/anamnese e avaliação clínica. Conclui-se que esta ferramenta tem potencial para instrumentalizar o enfermeiro na execução e documentação da primeira etapa do processo de enfermagem, contribuindo na valorização e sustentação da prática profissional, colaborando para a assistência integral da população carcerária. É viável a replicabilidade para outras unidades prisionais, temas e outras áreas do conhecimento. Tem potencial para impacto social, mantendo a população de pessoas privadas de liberdade, com melhor qualidade de vida durante o período do cumprimento de pena; impacto econômico, com possibilidade de identificação precoce de problemas de saúde e, consequentemente, menor número de complicações que exigem utilização de serviços de saúde de atenção secundária ou terciária. O teor inovador encontra-se no fato de implementar um sistema de informação segura dos dados dos custodiados, com possibilidade de ampliação de todas as penitenciárias de segurança máxima brasileiras.

Abstract: This study aimed to develop a software prototype to clinically evaluate nurses in the health service of the maximum-security federal penitentiary in Porto Velho. We followed the methodological research of technological production using a federal penitentiary as a scenario. The study consisted of two phases: Phase 1, the exploratory phase, which included three stages: a) literature review; b) the information obtained from participants regarding their knowledge of clinical evaluation; and c) data analysis; Phase 2, the prototyping model development phase, which followed the system development life cycle, divided into three stages: a) analysis and specification; b) development; and maintenance, proposed by Pressman (2011). The final product is a software prototype entitled AVALIA TIS - SPF, with dynamic characteristics that include user registration and login modules, patient identification, history/anamnesis, and clinical evaluation. In conclusion, this tool has the potential to equip nurses in the execution and documentation of the first stage of the nursing process, contributing to the appreciation and support of professional practice and collaborating for the integral assistance of the prison population. Replicability for other prison units, themes, and other areas of knowledge is feasible. It has the potential for social impact, giving a better quality of life to the freedom-deprived population while serving their sentence, and economic impact, with the possibility of early identification of health problems and, consequently, fewer complications that require secondary or tertiary health care services. The innovative content is because it implements a secure information system for the data of those in custody, with the possibility of expanding all Brazilian maximum security penitentiaries.
