Care Planning
The right information, at the point of care
Nursing care is a vital and complex component of modern healthcare both in and out of hospital. HCIS contains specific nursing care planning tools, based around the most common standards of nursing such as Virginia Henderson´s Assessment Model or Marjory Gordon´s Functional Models, NANDA, NIC, NOC, etc. This functionality improves compliance with professional standards, increasing quality of care and optimising use of resources.
HCIS supports clinical professionals and staff to utilise EPR data to plan, manage and drive clinical practice. Care planning provides the ability to create and maintain a plan of care, individual to the patient, that allows the care details to be recorded, monitored and measured against expected outcomes.
