INFORMATICS APPLICATION IN EVIDENCE
BASED NURSING PRACTICE
Evidence-based nursing practice is the
princess of critically appraising and applying
research findings to clinical decision-making
in order to improve the quality of care
provided to patients.
A. COMPUTER GENERATED
NCPs
A nursing information system (NIS) can
increase efficiency and accuracy in all
phases of the nursing process-assessment,
nursing diagnosis, planning, implementing,
and evaluating. It can help you meet
standards of nursing practice and
documentation. In addition, an NIS can help
you spend more time meeting patient’s
needs.
ASSESSMENT
Use the computer terminal to record
admission information.
NURSING DIAGNOSIS
Most current programs list standard
diagnoses with associated signs and
symptoms as references. After you use your
clinical judgment to determine a nursing
diagnosis for each patient, you can
rapidly get information related to that
diagnoses.
PLANNING
To help you begin writing a plan of care,
newer computer programs display
recommended interventions for the selected
diagnoses and expected outcomes.
Computers can also track outcomes for
large patient populations.
IMPLEMENTING
Use the computer to record interventions
and patient information, such as transfer
and discharge instructions, and to
communicate this information to other
departments. Computer-generated progress
notes automatically sort and printbout
patient data such as medication
administration, treatments, and vital
signs–making documentation more efficient
and accurate.
EVALUATING
You can use computer to compare large
amounts of patient data, help identify
outcomes patients are likely to achieve
based on individual problemsand needs,
and estimate the time frame for reaching
outcome goals.
A critical Pathway (CP) is a clinical
management tool that helps medical care
providers coordinate the delivery of patient
care for a particular case type or condition.
As a guide to usual treatment patterns, a
CP gives a view of the "big picture." The CP
usually recommends a total treatment
regimen.
Clinical Pathways (CP) is multidisciplinary
plans of best clinical practice for specified
groups of patients with a particular
diagnosis that aid the co-ordination and
delivery of high quality care. They are both,
a tool, and a concept, which embed
guidelines, protocols and locally agreed,
evidence-based, patient-centered, best
practice, into everyday use for the individual
patient.
4 Components of Clinical
Pathway
1. A Timeline
2. Categories of care or activities and
their interventions
3. Intermediate and long-term outcome
criteria
4. Variance record

● Clinical practice guidelines (or
simply "clinical guidelines") are
recommendations on how to
diagnose and treat a medical
condition. They are mainly written for
doctors, but also for nurses and
other health care professionals.
● "systematically developed
statements to assist practitioner
decisions about appropriate health
care for specific clinical
circumstances. Guidelines can be
used to reduce inappropriate
variations in practice and to promote
the delivery of high quality;
evidence-based health care.
An electronic journal is a periodical
publication which is published in electronic
