AI Article Synopsis
- The project aimed to create a clear definition of basic nursing care for hospitalized adult patients and integrate this definition into an electronic health record system.
- A team of nurses and experts identified nine key nursing care activities based on nursing theory and regulatory standards, which led to the successful pilot implementation in a community hospital.
- The initiative showed that defining basic nursing care separately from broader healthcare plans improves documentation and communication, potentially enhancing patient care outcomes and collaborative efforts among nursing staff.
Article Abstract
Purpose: To develop a definition of basic nursing care for the hospitalized adult patient and drive uptake of that definition through the implementation of an electronic health record.
Design And Methods: A team of direct care nurses, assisted by subject matter experts, analyzed nursing theory and regulatory requirements related to basic nursing care. The resulting list of activities was coded using the Clinical Care Classification (CCC) system and incorporated into the electronic health record system of a 170-bed community hospital.
Results: Nine basic nursing care activities were identified as a result of analyzing nursing theory and regulatory requirements in the framework of a hypothetical "well" patient. One additional basic nursing care activity was identified following the pilot implementation in the electronic health record. The pilot hospital has successfully passed a post-implementation regulatory review with no recommendations related to the documentation of basic patient care.
Conclusions: This project demonstrated that it is possible to define the concept of basic nursing care and to distinguish it from the interdisciplinary, problem-focused plan of care. The use of the electronic health record can help clarify, document, and communicate basic care elements and improve uptake among nurses.
Clinical Relevance: This project to define basic nursing care activities and incorporate into the electronic health record represents a first step in capturing meaningful data elements. When fully implemented, these data could be translated into knowledge for improving care outcomes and collaborative processes.
