A Model of E-documentation of Community Nursing

Abstract

This article presents the development of electronic documentation for community nursing using a system approach. Documentation is viewed as an information model for organizing and managing processes. The community nurse plans the nursing process after gather­ing and evaluating information on the patient’s health and his/her family status. Documentation is thus considered to be a basis for the successful work of the health team and as a way of ensuring quality in nursing. The article describes a prototype software model for e-documentation in community nursing together with its evaluation in practice
