Nursing informatics
The maintenance computer science is a field of application of computer science and a special area of economic computer science , which is mainly concerned with maintenance-related task-centric applications, information systems and e-Health busy. In doing so, it is partly based on the findings of medical informatics . Nursing informatics is used in all areas of nursing, health and nursing and care for the elderly . As a sub-area of nursing science , nursing informatics (also under the names Health Care Informatics or Nursing informatics ) is offered in some countries as an independent course or postgraduate course.
Areas of application
Nursing informatics should make data and knowledge available in all sub-areas of nursing and make these available to other members of the interdisciplinary cooperation, e.g. doctors , physiotherapists , social workers , at the same time results from nursing research should be made available to nursing practice and nursing services made transparent. The nursing areas that use nursing informatics are, in addition to everyday inpatient and outpatient care, nursing education , nursing management , process coordination, and nursing science and research . Each of these areas has its own requirements for information systems, for example, nursing managers primarily need economic data and support with personnel deployment planning , while practical nursing requires nursing assistance and nursing documentation systems that support the nursing process and provide biographical, medical and nursing planning data. Another area of application is the recording and assessment of individual process-based care interventions, for example wound documentation , in which the interdisciplinary cooperation between doctor, wound manager and caregiver plays a role and in which, in addition to data, photo documentation and 3-D animations to assess the development and used for evaluation .
Nursing classification
An important sub-area of nursing informatics results from the international standardization of nursing terminology, which results from the increased use of the NANDA taxonomy, the Nursing Interventions Classification , Nursing Outcomes Classification and the International Classification of Nursing Practice of the International Council of Nurses . The mapping of these classification systems, with which term catalogs for nursing diagnostics and problems, interventions and nursing results is a focus of nursing informatics. The implementation and expansion of the relevant care classifications, however, essentially depends on the level of development of national care; for example, the prevalence in Austria is significantly higher than in the Federal Republic of Germany due to different legal care requirements.
The best-known care classification systems in German-speaking countries are as follows:
- European Nursing Care Pathways (ENP) classifies nursing diagnoses , nursing goals and nursing measures.
- International Classification of Nursing Practice (ICNP) with the help of the terms of the various axes, statements on nursing diagnoses, outcomes and nursing measures can be developed post-combinatorially by the nurse.
- Service recording in nursing (LEP) classifies nursing services
- North American Nursing Diagnoses Association (NANDA) classifies nursing diagnoses.
- Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) classifies nursing outcomes.
- Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) classifies nursing interventions.
- International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) classifies functional health status, degree of disability, degree of social impairment and environmental factors.
- Practice-oriented nursing diagnostics (POP) classifies nursing diagnoses.
Worldwide there are numerous other nursing classification systems which describe nursing diagnoses, goals and measures and which could be used for nursing process documentation.
