The core of disaster management is the ability to respond spontaneously and rapidly to unexpected situations and also to apply planned and adaptable responses that follow manuals and guidelines. This study aimed to observe the changes in information during the COVID-19 pandemic period by collecting and analyzing information announced on a hospital intranet by an infection control team. This study performed text mining of large amounts of data to investigate notices about in-hospital strategies towards COVID-19 to identify changes in the coping strategies during the pandemic.

Background: Handoff is a critical communication process in clinical settings. Less attention has been paid to the handoff practice to assure safe perinatal care in hospitals.
Objectives: This study examined the usability of six differing electronic nursing record (ENR) systems on the efficiency, proficiency and available functions for documenting nursing care and subsequently compared the results to nurses' perceived satisfaction from a previous study.
Methods: The six hospitals had different ENR systems, all with narrative nursing notes in use for more than three years. Stratified by type of nursing unit, 54 staff nurses were digitally recorded during on-site usability testing by employing validated patient care scenarios and think-aloud protocols.
Background: Hospital-acquired pressure ulcers (HAPU) are common among inpatients and create substantial morbidity, mortality, and costs, but prevention strategies have been only variably effective.
Objectives: To develop and assess the impact of a decision support intervention to predict HAPU on the prevalence of ulcers and length of stay in an intensive care unit (ICU), and on the user adoption rate and attitudes.
Methods: We compared the HAPU prevalence before and after introducing the intervention, and surveyed the users.
The purposes of this study were to identify nursing-phenomena-related statements and nursing-action- related statements for use in nursing records, to link nursing statements for the nursing process, to develop integrated nursing terms using the ICNP, to identify new terms for inclusion, and to group statements using the HHCC in a user interface. We extracted 5,133 nursing-phenomena-related statements and 3,844 nursing-action-related statements, with the former including 233 nursing diagnoses. A total of 2791 nursing terms were mapped and 287 new terms were developed.
