ABSTRACT
The study is to represent knowledge by identifying frequently used nursing interventions in term of standardized nursing terminology (SNT) in the Electronic Health Records (EHRs) relevant to Safety for Patients with Cancer. We include 2,237 patients and found 11,804 nursing interventions in total. There are 100 identical interventions in the study. We identify eleven nursing interventions from four oncology units over 7 month observation. For the most four frequent nursing interventions (Fall Prevention, Infection Control, Infection Protection, and Pressure Management), we also report the mean of age, the mean of length of stay, and their frequency of outcome rating , outcome rating at admission and at discharge that link to outcome. These studies demonstrate the strengths of SNT in clinical practice. The findings are valuable to clinical practice, education and future research.

Los autores señalan que el establecimiento de un completo cuadro de mando con índices de medida de actividad en su conjunto, es esencial para un correcta gestión clínica en Oncología Radioterápica. Hacen hincapié en que es imprescindible disponer de una serie exhaustiva de mecanismos de control en todo el proceso para asegurar una pronta detección de cualquier error que pudiera producirse (AU)
According to the authors of this paper, the establishment of a full management system able to gauge its overall activity rate is essential to proper clinical management in Radiotherapy Oncology. The authors stress the need to establish a comprehensive control mechanism throughout the entire process in order to ensure early detection of any possible errors (AU)

Se realizó la investigación de la frecuencia de disfunción de hombre en mujeres que fueron sometidas a una mastectomia en el servicio de Oncologia del Hospital General de la ciudad de La Paz en la gestion de enero de 1999 hasta diciembre del 2002. La población estudiada en este periodo de tiempo fue de 100 mujeres. El tipo de diseño es descriptivo de corte transversal. Las variables estudiadas en este trabajo fueron: edad, la presencia de dsifunción de hombro, el tipo de disfunción, el tipo de cirugia, las causas que llevaron a una disfuncion de hombro y si la paciente recibió o no tratamiento de fisioterapia. Los datos se obtuvieron mediante la revisión de historias clíncas, de los cuales los que eran importantes para la presente investigación fueron llenados en un formulario de recolección de datos...

This study examined the role of purpose of admission (POA) in hospitalizations for lung, colon, and breast cancers, using the 1985 20-percent Medicare provider analysis and review file. Six POA categories were created from discharge abstract data. Average hospitalization charges, per diem charges, length of stay, and rates of death varied significantly by POA (p < .001). Rural and small hospitals were more likely to admit patients for palliation, while urban and large hospitals admitted relatively more patients for active interventions (p < .0001). POA and indicators of case complexity added only modestly to the ability of diagnosis-related groups to predict hospitalization charges.
