Adopting an American framework to optimize nursing admission documentation in an Australian health organization.

Objective: Apply and modify the American Essential Clinical Dataset (ECD) approach to optimize the data elements of an electronic nursing admission assessment form in a metropolitan Australian local health district.

Materials And Methods: We used the American ECD approach but made modifications. Our approach included (1) a review of data, (2) a review of current admission practice via consultations with nurses, (3) a review of evidence and policies, (4) workshops with nursing and informatics teams in partnership with the electronic medical record (eMR) vendor, and (5) team debrief sessions to consolidate findings and decide what data elements should be kept, moved, or removed from the admission form.

Measuring text similarity and its associated factors in electronic nursing progress notes: A retrospective review.

Aims And Objectives: To measure text similarity in electronic nursing progress notes and determine factors associated with text similarity.

Background: Electronic clinical notes with redundant information masks clinically relevant information, increases clinicians' cognitive burden and undermines patient safety.

Design: Retrospective review of electronic medical record nursing progress notes.

Predictors of parent's knowledge of hospital-based pediatric falls.

Purpose: This study aimed to validate and to determine the individual characteristics and demographic factors associated with parents' knowledge of hospital-based pediatric falls and to identify parent populations more likely to report low levels of falls-related knowledge.

Design: Validation of a questionnaire and a cross-sectional survey design.

Methods: Parents (n = 200) of hospitalized children admitted to a tertiary specialist pediatric hospital in Australia completed an online questionnaire.

Completion of electronic nursing documentation of inpatient admission assessment: Insights from Australian metropolitan hospitals.

Introduction: Electronic nursing documentation is an essential aspect of inpatient care and multidisciplinary communication. Analysing data in electronic medical record (eMR) systems can assist in understanding clinical workflows, improving care quality, and promoting efficiency in the healthcare system. This study aims to assess timeliness of completion of an electronic nursing admission assessment form and identify patient and facility factors associated with form completion in three metropolitan hospitals.

Exploring Australian parents' knowledge and awareness of pediatric inpatient falls: A qualitative study.

Purpose: While there has been extensive published research into adult inpatient falls, less is known about pediatric falls in Australia. Falls pose a safety risk to pediatric patients potentially causing harm, increased length of stay, and death. Parents play a central role in reducing falls-related incidents given that, as parents, they provide care and/or oversee care delivered to their child at the bedside.
