A microcomputer-based information management system for a nurse-managed clinic.

A project team from a nurse-managed health care center designed and used a microcomputer-based information management system to document the activities of their clinic. Commercial software, dBase III Plus, was used to program the system, called Nurse Education Link to Aged Center (NELAC). NELAC reflects the center's philosophy of helping clients attain maximum satisfaction of their health care needs through self care. NELAC's specific purposes include 1) matching student nurses with potential clients for clinical experiences; 2) providing an efficient reminder system to improve follow-up care for clients; 3) maintaining longitudinal client records; 4) producing reports of services and activities of the center; and 5) providing aggregate data for research.

A process for introducing computerized information systems into long-term care facilities.

By significantly decreasing the time spent on non-nursing tasks, computers have the potential to facilitate the productivity of nurses and also to increase their job satisfaction. Nurses working in long-term care facilities are beginning to realize the benefits of microcomputers and software geared to their specific needs. A process that may serve as a guide for introducing computer applications into long-term nursing facilities for the elderly is presented. This process consists of six phases: initiation, orientation, assessment, selection, implementation, and sustained-implementation. Detailed steps within each phase are suggested.
