The development and the trial of the Nationally Standardized Electronic Nursing Documentation (NSEND) in Southern Savos Hospital district.
Starting 2003 the target in Mikkeli Central Hospital was to develop a common platform for electronic nursing documentation. Evaluation of the Nursing Management Minimum Data Set (NMDS) was carried out twice: 2003 and 2004, this provided a picture as to whether the nursing process assisted in the planning of nursing care. NSEND education started 2003 and has been carried out systematically since.
