Abstract

With an in-depth analysis of nursing work in 14 hospitals over a period of two years, one unique total nursing information system framework was established where the nursing clinical pathways are used as the main frame and the nursing orders as the nodes on the frame. We used the nursing order concept with the principles of nursing process. A closed-loop management model composed of the nursing orders was set up to solve nursing problems. Based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, we further designed an intelligent support module to automatically deduct clinical nursing pathways to promote standardized management and improve the quality of nursing care. The system has successfully been implemented in some facilities since 2015.
