Utilizing nursing standards in electronic health records: A descriptive qualitative study.

Background: The electronic health record (EHR), including standardized structures and languages, represents an important data source for nurses, to continually update their individual and shared perceptual understanding of clinical situations. Registered nurses' utilization of nursing standards, such as standardized nursing care plans and language in EHRs, has received little attention in the literature. Further research is needed to understand nurses' care planning and documentation practice.

Consequences of the Early Phase of the COVID-19 Pandemic for Home-Healthcare Recipients in Norway: A Nursing Perspective.

Municipal home-healthcare services are becoming increasingly important as growing numbers of people are receiving healthcare services in their home. The COVID-19 pandemic represented a challenge for this group, both in terms of care providers being restricted in performing their duties and care receivers declining services for fear of being infected. Furthermore, preparedness plans were not always in place.

Content and comprehensiveness in the nursing documentation for residents in long-term dementia care: a retrospective chart review.

Background: Insight into and understanding of content and comprehensiveness in nursing documentation is important to secure continuity and high-quality care planning in long-term dementia care. The accuracy of nursing documentation is vital in areas where residents have difficulties in communicating needs and preferences. This study described the content and comprehensiveness of nursing documentation for residents living with dementia in nursing homes.

Registered nurses' reasoning process during care planning and documentation in the electronic health records: A concurrent think-aloud study.

Aims And Objectives: To explore the clinical reasoning process of experienced registered nurses during care planning and documentation of nursing in the electronic health records of residents in long-term dementia care.

Background: Clinical reasoning is an essential element in nursing practice. Registered nurses' clinical reasoning process during the documentation of nursing care in electronic health records has received little attention in nursing literature.

Predictors for assessing electronic messaging between nurses and general practitioners as a useful tool for communication in home health care services: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Nurses providing home health care services are dependent on access to patient information and communicating with general practitioners (GPs) to deliver safe and effective health care to patients. Information and communication technology (ICT) systems are viewed as powerful tools for this purpose. In Norway, a standardized electronic messaging (e-messaging) system is currently being established in health care.

Electronic communication experiences of home health care nurses and general practitioners: a cross-sectional study.

Future health care will require suitable means of communication between home health care nurses and general practitioners (GPs) to ensure safe care for homebound patients. The overall aim of this study was to investigate the experiences of home health care nurses and general practitioners using e-messaging in their communication. We conducted a cross-sectional study with a mailed questionnaire.

Home care nurses' experiences with using electronic messaging in their communication with general practitioners.

Aims And Objectives: To investigate the experiences of home care nurses with electronic messaging (e-messaging) and to determine how it influenced their communication with general practitioners.

Background: Nurses in home care services must collaborate with general practitioners to care for homebound patients. Studies have shown that communication and collaboration are often constrained because they are organised separately and are dispersed.

Standardised electronic information exchange between nurses in home care and GPs - the medication information processes.

Improving the transfer of medication information between home care nurses and patient's general practitioners (GP) is assessed as essential for ensuring safe care. In this paper, we report on a Norwegian study in which we investigated how home care nurses experienced using standardised electronic messages in their communication with the GPs. Standardised electronic solutions were developed and implemented to resolve gaps in the medication information processes when patients received nursing care in their homes.
