An informatics education for improved nursing by introducing an easy data base system.
We began to explore the subject of nursing information systems nine years ago. Since then, we have advocated a system that is intended to be used by nurses for their own purposes. We have developed an easy database management system (Native Data Base Management System, called NDBS hereafter) that is feasible to operate in the nursing situation. We also have developed an educational training system for information technology, which is appropriate for nursing students as well as for experienced nurses. Both systems have helped to greatly improve nursing services. In fact, nurses have already created several beneficial databases which are tailored to their nursing needs.
