A System for Nursing Diagnosis and Intervention Management using the Nursing Outcome Indicators / 대한의료정보학회지

This paper proposes a system for nursing diagnosis and intervention management that is using nursing outcome indicators to guide the nursing intervention. In Korea, it has been studied on computerization of nursing process, but most of the studies are on the management of nursing records and not on the databases of nursing intervention. So far, the actual nursing processes have been performed by individual nurses' judgement without any supporting programs. Therefore, we provide the system with standardized database for nursing diagnosis and interventions so that nurses can make more accurate diagnoses and perform more adequate interventions. For that purpose, we have developed an algorithm that links nursing outcome indicators to nursing diagnoses and interventions. As a result, we expect the system can be used in many hospitals efficiently in the future after pilot operations.

Development of the Computerized Health Instruction System for the Registered Health Management Members / 대한의료정보학회지

The purpose of this study is to develop the computerized health instruction system to manage the Health Management Members(HMM) of the Gangbook-ku Health center in Seoul who have registered for the life-time health promotion. The HMM have been checked up and classified into 3 groups - healthy, borderline and ill group - based on their health assessment data through the computerized management system. But the computerized supporting programs for intensive management have not been sufficient enough to offer clear health instructions to the HMM and more than one user in the health center have not been able to use the system at the same time. Therefore, we have developed some new health instruction programs and upgraded the system to be used concurrently. For that purposes, we have used Delphi, Microsoft Access, ActiveX Data Objects(ADO) technology as development tools. We expect thi system to be used for health management of other public health centers, schools, and occupational settings, furthermore for evaluation of health promotion services. Additionally, this new computerized health management system supplemented with health instruction programs should be integrated to the computerized health care system at health centers in near future.

Development of a Computerized System for Intensive Care of the Health Management Members in Kangbook-gu Health Center / 대한의료정보학회지

The risk factors of chronic degenerative diseases are related to daily life style such as lack of exercise, obesity, smoking, stress, insufficient sleep, and etc. This study is conducted to develop a computerized system that check-up, guide and manage the residents' health through life-span. The morbidity of chronic degenerative diseases such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus and arthritis has been high in the survey on community health needs. These diseases are selected as the object of the study. The subjects who register as a health management member are over 40 and under 65 years old in the community. The combined approach method to individuals and groups is applied to the health management. The modeling of database for the system is constructed by entity-relationship model and relational data model. The subjects are classified into three groups of health, borderline and disease, on the basis of their clinical test result and daily life style. The intensive health care is provided to the subjects according to the result of analysis. We anticipate the community health promotion through the life style modification of the subjects by this intensive health care system.
