title: Clinical Knowledgebase Integration of Nursing Terminology.
abstract: Medicomp Point of Care Clinical Knowledgebase, MEDCIN®is designed to support integrated care documentation and the care planning functions of nurses and allied health professional. In electronic medical records (EMRs) starting with one or more clinical diagnoses and/or patient signs and symptoms, the capabilities of the MEDCIN®knowledgebase are used to prompt nursing terminology concepts following the American Nurses Association (ANA) nursing process [1]. The MEDCIN®diagnostic index dynamically constructs Interactive Plans of Care (PoC) using the six standards of the nursing process and allows aggregated data analysis. MEDCIN®is widely used in the US by EMR clients and health information technology systems around the world.
