title: E-documentation as a process management tool for nursing care in hospitals.
abstract: Appropriate documentation plays a key role in process management in nursing care. It includes holistic data management based on patient's data along the clinical path with regard to nursing care. We developed an e-documentation model that follows the process method of work in nursing care. It assesses the patient's status on the basis of Henderson's theoretical model of 14 basic living activities and is aligned with internationally recognized nursing classifications. E-documentation development requires reengineering of existing documentation and facilitates process reengineering. A prototype solution of an e-nursing documentation, already being in testing process at University medical centres in Ljubljana and Maribor, will be described.
