Developing a module for nursing documentation integrated in the electronic patient record.

Norway's regional teaching hospitals are working together on a project to develop an interdisciplinary electronic patient record (EPR). This paper presents the results of a project to develop nursing documentation as part of an integrated EPR to improve the quality and continuity of patient care. The project used a consensus process as a working norm. The most important result is that the five hospitals have agreed on a framework for nursing documentation, and on the main components that need to be implemented in the electronic patient record.

Nursing documentation--beyond the question of structure.

In this paper experiences from a project to improve nursing documentation in a medium size Scandinavian acute care hospital are presented. The project has followed an action research approach to ensure close cooperation in a coordinated fashion over a period of time. In the paper it is explained that structural changes are not enough to ensure higher quality in the nursing documentation. A broader perspective on clinical practice is therefore presented in order to reflect the complexity of clinical practice and varying documentation needs.
