- Aim.The aim of the present study was to investigate nurses' opinions about using standardised care plans in electronic health record and quality standards for clinical practice.Background.Following introduction of an electronic health record, use of standardised care plans and quality standards has increased among nurses at two hospitals in Sweden. Understanding nurses' opinions is important to continued development in this area. There are few previous studies on nurses' opinions about standardised care plans.Design. Survey.Method.The study was quantitative, descriptive and based on a questionnaire. The questionnaire included items on nurses' knowledge of and opinions about standardised care plans and quality standards.Results.The majority of the nurses were of the opinion that standardised care plans increase their ability to provide the same high-quality basic care for all patients. They also thought that a common standardised care plan across several professions would improve conditions for provision of high-quality care. The majority of the nurses also felt that the quality standards are a prerequisite of maintaining standardised care plans of high quality. There was no consensus on whether standardised care plans increase the risk of failing to notice patients' individual problems. Most agreed that standardised care plans decrease documentation time as well as redundant documentation. The study showed that training is needed to teach nurses how to use standardised care plans in care provision.Conclusions. The nurses in the study had positive attitudes towards use of standardised care plans and felt that they could facilitate nursing practice.Relevance to clinical practice. Use of standardised care plans can improve nursing documentation and facilitate work for nurses. Moreover, it can support nurses in their use of evidence-based nursing methods. The present study shows that nurses have positive attitudes, which could facilitate continued use of standardised care plans.

- AIMS: One aim was to compare the quality and comprehensiveness in nursing documentation of pressure ulcers before and after implementation of an electronic health record in a hospital setting. Another aim was to investigate the use of preformulated templates for pressure ulcer recording in the electronic health record. BACKGROUND: With the possibilities of the electronic health record to provide information and give accurate and reliable feedback to the healthcare organisation, it is of high priority to develop standardised documentation practices for various areas of care (e.g. such as pressure ulcer care). DESIGN: A cross-sectional retrospective review of health records. METHODS: Three departments in a Swedish university hospital participated. In 2002, there were 413 patients, including 59 paper-based records identified with notes on pressure ulcers and in 2006, 343 patients, including 71 electronic health records with pressure ulcer recording. Recorded data on pressure ulcers were retrospectively reviewed. Results. Significantly more patient records showed notes of pressure ulcer grade (p < 0.001), size (p = 0.004), risk assessment (p = 0.002), nursing history (p = 0.040), nursing diagnoses (p < 0.001), nursing goals (p < 0.001) and nursing outcomes (p = 0.016) in 2006 than in 2002. One third of the recordings used preformulated templates. CONCLUSIONS: Although there were significant improvements in pressure ulcer recording after the change to the electronic health record, several deficiencies remained. Due to the short time of our follow-up after implementation of the electronic health record, we suspect that the quality of recording will improve when nurses become more familiar with the new system. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: Education related to the use of the electronic health record and evidence-based pressure ulcer prevention should be provided to the nurses. To facilitate documentation, the templates need to be refined to be more user-friendly.

- Aim: To describe evidence-based practice among head nurses and to explore whether number of years of duty is associated with such activities. Further to evaluate the effects of education on evidence-based practice and perceived support from immediate superiors.Background:Registered nurses in Sweden are required by law to perform care based on research findings and best experiences. In order to achieve this, evidence-based practice (EBP) is of key importance.Method: All 168 head nurses at two hospitals were asked to participate. Ninety-nine (59%) completed the survey. Data were collected using a study-specific web-based questionnaire.Results:The majority reported a positive attitude towards EBP, but also a lack of time for EBP activities. A greater number of years as a head nurse was positively correlated with research utilization. Education in research methods and perceived support from immediate superiors were statistically and significantly associated with increased EBP activities.Conclusions:The present study highlights the value of education in research methods and the importance of supportive leadership. Implications for nursing management Education is an important factor in the employment of head nurses. We recommend interventions to create increased support for EBP among management, the goal being to deliver high-quality care and increase patient satisfaction.

- AimsTo compare staff opinions about standardized care plans and self-reported habits with regard to documentation, and their perceived knowledge about the evidence-based guidelines in stroke care before and after implementation of an evidence-based-standardized care plan (EB-SCP) and quality standard for stroke care. The aim was also to describe staff opinions about, and their use of, the implemented EB-SCP.BackgroundTo facilitate evidence-based practice (EBP), a multi-professional EB-SCP and quality standard for stroke care was implemented in the electronic health record (EHR).MethodQuantitative, descriptive and comparative, based on questionnaires completed before and after implementation.ResultsPerceived knowledge about evidence-based guidelines in stroke care increased after implementation of the EB-SCP. The majority agreed that the EB-SCP is useful and facilitates their work. There was no change between before and after implementation with regard to opinions about standardized care plans, self-reported documentation habits or time spent on documentation.ConclusionsAn evidence-based SCP seems to be useful in patient care and improves perceived knowledge about evidence-based guidelines in stroke care. Implications for nursing management For nursing managers, introduction of evidence-based SCP in the EHR may improve the prerequisites for promoting high-quality EBP in multi-professional care.

- Aims and objectives. To compare stroke unit staff members' documentation of care in line with evidence-based guidelines pre- and postimplementation of a multi-professional, evidence-based standardised care plan for stroke care in the electronic health record. Background. Rapid and effective measures for patients with stroke or suspected stroke can limit the extent of damage; it is imperative that patients be observed, assessed and treated in accordance with evidence-based practice in hospital. Design. Quantitative, comparative. Methods. Structured retrospective health record reviews were made prior to (n 60) and one and a half years after implementation (n 60) of a multi-professional evidence-based standardised care plan with a quality standard for stroke care in the electronic health record. Results. Significant improvements were found in documentation of assessed vital signs, except for body temperature, Day 1 post compared with preimplementation. Documentation frequency regarding body temperature Day 1 and blood pressure and pulse Day 2 decreased post compared with preimplementation. Improvements were also detected in documented observations of patients' micturition capacity, swallowing capacity and mouth status and the proportion of physiotherapist-documented aid assessments. Observations of blood glucose, mobilisation ability and speech and communication ability were unchanged. Conclusions. An evidence-based standardised care plan in an electronic health record assists staff in improving documentation of health status assessments during the first days after a stroke diagnosis. Relevance to clinical practice. Use of a standardised care plan seems to have the potential to help staff adhere to evidence-based patient care and, thereby, to increase patient safety.
