ABSTRACT
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.
