REVIEW QUESTION/OBJECTIVE The objective of this scoping review is to comprehensively identify and examine the available literature on computerized clinical decision support systems utilized in nursing. The following focus questions will be used as an initial starting point in order to map and discuss important characteristics of the work done in this field.

Aiming to evaluate the professional training programs, this study wants to evaluate the effectiveness of training about contact precautionary steps, run to nursing professional. This is a correlational design research. The material of analysis is composed by the pre- and post-training learning evaluations (n=248), performed in the University Hospital of the Sao Paulo University, which were submitted to a descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. This study was approved by the Ethics in Research Committee of the institution. The main results showed that, if compared the pre- and post-training periods, there was a significant rise on the post moment, of the average grade, in 10 out of 14 questions from the evaluation chart. Despite the fact the training was considered effective, it was observed there is a necessity to improve the diagnosing method of educational actions, as well as the evolution of a deeper evaluation methodology that embraces the observation of the results of training in assisting care

OBJETIVO: Apresentar a avaliação de um sistema eletrônico para documentação do processo de enfermagem (PE) na perspectiva de enfermeiras usuárias. MÉTODOS: Estudo exploratório, descritivo realizado com 16 enfermeiras do Hospital Universitário da Universidade de São Paulo. As enfermeiras avaliaram módulos e telas do sistema Sistema de Documentação Eletrônica do Processo de Enfermagem da Universidade de São Paulo- PROCEnf-USP, julgando o conforto visual, manuseio, clareza e abrangência da documentação, objetividade das informações e adequação do conteúdo ao registro de enfermagem em unidades clínico-cirúrgicas. RESULTADOS: A maioria das enfermeiras avaliou as características funcionais do PROCEnf-USP, como excelentes e muito boas, destacando o suporte ao raciocínio clínico ao apoiar decisões sobre diagnósticos, resultados e intervenções de enfermagem. Todas se posicionaram favoravelmente à implementação do PROCEnf-USP. CONCLUSÃO: Os resultados das avaliações mostraram que as enfermeiras estão estimuladas a adquirir novas habilidades técnicas e tecnológicas, com a adoção do PROCEnf-USP para a documentação do PE na realidade Institucional.OBJETIVO: Presentar la evaluación de un sistema electrónico para la documentación del proceso de enfermería (PE) en la perspectiva de enfermeras usuarias. MÉTODOS: Estudio exploratorio, descriptivo realizado con 16 enfermeras del Hospital Universitario de la Universidad de Sao Paulo. Las enfermeras evaluaron módulos y pantallas del Sistema de Documentación Electrónica del Proceso de Enfermería de la Universidad de Sao Paulo - PROCEnf-USP, juzgando el confort visual, manipulación, claridad y extensión de la documentación, objetividad de las informaciones y adecuación del contenido al registro de enfermería en unidades clínico-quirúrgicas. RESULTADOS: La mayoría de las enfermeras evaluó las características funcionales del PROCEnf-USP, como excelentes y muy buenas, destacando el soporte al raciocinio clínico al apoyar decisiones sobre diagnósticos, resultados e intervenciones de enfermería. Todas tomaron posición favorable respecto a la implementación del PROCEnf-USP. CONCLUSIÓN: Los resultados de la evaluaciones mostraron que las enfermeras están estimuladas para adquirir nuevas habilidades técnicas y tecnológicas, como la adopción del PROCEnf-USP para la documentación del PE en la realidad Institucional.OBJECTIVE: To present the evaluation of an electronic system for documenting the nursing process (NP) from the perspective of nurse users. METHODS: This exploratory, descriptive study was conducted with 16 nurses at the University Hospital at the University of São Paulo. The nurses assessed modules and system screens of the Electronic Documentation System of the Nursing Process of the University of São Paulo (PROCEnf -USP) judging visual comfort, handling, clarity and completeness of documentation, objectivity and adequacy of the information content of the nursing record in clinical and surgical units. RESULTS: The majority of the nurses evaluated the functional characteristics of the PROCEnf-USP as excellent or very good, highlighting the clinical reasoning support for decisions about diagnoses, outcomes and nursing interventions. All positioned themselves favorably to the implementation of PROCEnf-USP. CONCLUSION: The results of the evaluations showed that the nurses are encouraged to acquire new technical skills and technology, with the adoption of PROCEnf-USP, for the documentation of the NP in the institutional reality.

Decision support systems (DSSs) are recognized as important tools, capable of processing high volumes of data and increasing productivity. The usability of these tools affects their effectiveness. By evaluating the interactions between registered nurses (RNs) and the DSSs, this study explores how they impact RN decision-making. This study analyzed 24 months (2011-2012) of data collected in Brazil in two units of a large, public, urban hospital in São Paulo that uses a nurse documentation system with an embedded DSS based on NANDA-I. Using mixed effects logistic regression, this study analyzed the agreement between RNs and a DSS when selecting nursing diagnoses. Results suggest that the agreement is mediated by characteristics of the RNs (education and experience) as well as units and year of encounter. Surprisingly, disagreement between RN and DSS when selecting defining characteristics (DC) had positive effects on the odds of agreement on diagnoses. Our results suggest that DSSs support nurses' clinical decision making, but the nurse's clinical judgment is the mediating factor. More research is necessary.

Este trabalho teve como objetivos verificar se os avaliadores e avaliados seguem os critérios operacionais que norteiam o processo de avaliação de desempenho da equipe de enfermagem do HU, identificar as graduações atribuídas aos prognosticadores obrigatórios e optativos pelos avaliadores e avaliados; identificar os prognosticadores optativos escolhidos pelos avaliadores e avaliados e instrumentalizar os pesquisadores para a reformulação do processo de avaliação de desempenho da equipe de enfermagem do HU. Os resultados mostraram que apesar das diferentes posições e categorias funcionais dentro do processo de avaliação de desempenho, houve um alto grau de concordância entre avaliadores e avaliados, tanto na atribuição de valores, como na seleção de prognosticadores optativos. Este fato demonstra que há uma coerência no processo de avaliação de desempenho da equipe de enfermagem do HU, revelando que avaliadores e avaliados compartilham dos mesmos pressupostos quanto a finalidade e importância dos prognosticadores inseridos no instrumento de avaliação de desempenho.

Electronic nursing documentation constitutes technical, scientific, legal, and ethical documents. The objective of this study was to develop an electronic nursing documentation system. The system was developed in four phases (conceptualization, detailing, prototype building, implementation), and the knowledge base was based on domains and classes according to the NANDA-I, NIC, and NOC unified framework. The result is an electronic system (PROCEnf--USP--Nursing Process Electronic Documentation System of the University of São Paulo) which allows documenting nursing process generating reports of nursing process, besides supporting decisions on nursing diagnosis, expected outcomes, and interventions. Integration of different fields of knowledge, as well as the institutional feature of valuing continuous theoretical and practical improvement of nursing process were factors of success of this technological project.
