“…Today's ward nurses face serious problems amongst which delivery of care to increasingly complex patients in a shorter period of time is included, administrative pressures to improve productivity and quality, and a lack of immediate resolutions to the nursing shortage (Sorrentino 1991). The problems would be alleviated by more efficient and accountable documentation systems.…”

“…Legal and professional considerations, practice standards, and research and strategic planning concerns make this need even greater. While documenting may consume excessive amounts of nursing time (Deane,McElroy 8c Alden 1986), automation can provide nurses with the opportunity to use their time for functions requiring their expert judgment (Sorrentino 1991). The progress in information technology, now offers many alternatives to traditional documentation systems.…”

Rising health care costs and the need for enhancing the quality of clinical care are concerns of hospitals throughout the world. Documentation consumes excessive amounts of nursing time and directly influences the quality of clinical practice, research, administration and education. Recent developments in information technology have offered many alternatives to traditional systems of documentation. Many hospitals have installed bedside terminals, but only few have conducted and published studies regarding their implementation. Most of the studies come from the US and report improved quality of care and reduction of nursing expenses. All the relevant studies have design, sample and methodological problems. There is a need for additional systematic studies to prove the actual benefits of the bedside terminals and link them with the outcomes of care. This paper intends to review the literature and discuss the installation, use, results and future directions of the bedside terminals.

The purpose of this study was to apply a benchmarking methodology to identify the most effective approaches used by long-term care facilities in implementing new computerized resident assessment instrument/minimum data set (RAI/MDS) systems and to develop implementation protocols based on these "best practices." Site visits were conducted with 3 long-term care facilities, selected on the basis of a national search. Facility directors, directors of nursing, information system managers, and frontline staff at each facility were targeted, and questionnaires were developed for each to assess factors viewed as important to successful implementation. A convergence was found in recommended action steps reported across sites to facilitate introduction and implementation of new RAI/MDS software. An example of how benchmarking results were used to develop an implementation plan is provided. Benchmarking provided a useful methodology for identifying best practices to guide implementation planing for adoption of a new computerized RAI/MDS system in the current trial. The benchmarking steps described are replicable and can be used to guide implementation of other new systems in the nursing home setting.
