Abstract:
UNLABELLED:The purpose of this study was to describe the information management used by hospital and home care nurses for patients in need of continuing care after an episode of hospitalization. METHOD:A prospective descriptive design was used. In total 287 hospital nurses and 220 home care nurses were asked to complete a questionnaire before and after the hospital implemented nursing documentation integrated in the electronic patient record (EPR). RESULTS:Discrepancies between the policies expressed by the health care organizations and the authorities in formal documents and the information management used by the nurses were identified. Differences were also found between nurses in hospital and home care with regard to how they assessed the information management during patient admission, throughout the patient's hospital stay and at the patient's discharge. The perceived differences decreased, however, after the hospital introduced electronic nursing documentation. The study shows a need to contextualize and customize the information that nurses exchange. In addition technological problems with the lack of integrated EPR systems between the hospital and the home health care as well as different practice models in the two organizations entail complex information handling during a patient's trajectory through the health system.
