So, inaccurate DS increases the risk of medical errors (1, 2). In teaching hospitals with residency programs, residents are usually responsible for writing DSs. Failure to pay attention to the education of writing and creating DS in the curriculum of medicine leads residents to be unfamiliar with the requirements and contents of DSs. However, there is no national instructions or guidelines for creating a complete and accurate DS. Lack of teaching to residents on how to write a DS is the gap in medical education and may jeopardize the continuity of care. A preliminary study on hospital DSs at Golestan University of Medical Sciences (GoUMS) revealed the fact that the quality of the DSs was not appropriate in terms of accuracy and completeness. To overcome this defect, the Internal Medicine Department at GoUMS has developed a program called the “Dis...

The aim of this study is to review the literature of RFID usage in nursing practice. Method: This is a narrative review of the literature which was performed with an electronic search for published papers in English and Persian language in PubMed, EBSCO, CINAHL, Web of Science, Emerald, SID, Magiran, and Irandoc databases in 2015. English and Persian keywords of "nursing", "nursing practice", "RFID", "healthcare" with Boolean functions were used to search the papers. Out of 68 papers, 14 ones were included in the study for review without any time restriction. Results: RFID can be used for patient and staff identification and equipment detection. It can also be used in patient care including: control of serum therapy and blood transfusion, rapid access to patient information, control of vital sign, drug saf...

The aim of this study was to assess laboratory and imaging staff to implementation of EHR. This descriptive- cross sectional study was conducted in 2013. Through a cluster sampling, the computer skills, knowledge and attitude of 54 personnel were assessed using a self-structured questionnaire. The mean of computer skills, knowledge and attitude of participants was 42.4%, 46.4% and 66.0%, respectively. The mean of overall readiness was 56%. It is recommended that the job training and introduction to information systems concept in laboratory and imaging student syllabus should be considered. User’s participation in the implementation of EHR can be effective.

Standards play an important role in the context of communication. In this paper, we surveyed the usage of standards in the hospital information systems (HISs) in the affiliated hospitals of Tehran University of Medical Sciences.Material and Methods: This survey was performed in 2014-2015. A total of 17 hospitals with HISs were surveyed. The data were collected using a structured questionnaire. The design of the questionnaire was based on a literature review and consisted of three parts. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data.Results: XML, HL7 and DICOM are commonly used international interchange standards. In the case of security standards, 76.5% of HISs do not support the HIPPA and CEN TC 251 security standards. ICD was the most commonly used terminology standard in the HISs. Several studies have indicated that HISs should cover data exchange, security and ter...

Nursing management focus on developing computerized records to answer legal, managerial and clinical needs. The Classification systems help organizations to use nursing data. This study investigated informational and structural needs of nursing data classification. Methods & Materials: This descriptive-comparative study was carried out in 2009. Current classification systems for nursing were investigated and their specifications were gathered in a questionnaire. The items were prioritized by experts in four degrees. Using statistical analysis items with a priority over 80 percent (average 2.4) were selected. Results: Findings about nursing diagnosis, intervention and outcomes showed that diagnosis item (average 2.93 out of 3), intervention item (average 2.52 out of 3), and outcome item (average 2.84 out of 3) should be presented in the system. Structure of nursing data classification was identified as a hierarchical and combinational classification. The computerized terminology (average 1.86 out of 3) had no priority. Conclusion: It is suggested to make decisions for standardizing nursing data to use in computerized systems. Since, nursing system in Iran is moving toward defining tariff for nursing services, coding nursing care components will help this plan to be developed.

Nursing Information systems (NIS) are important for improving nursing performance, increasing nursing knowledge and providing data and information needed for nursing. Identifying Nursing Minimum Data Set (NMDS) is the first step for development of NIS. Considering the absence of NMDS in Iran, this study was conducted with the aim of assessing NMDS needs and giving recommendations for Iran health care system. Material and Methods: It was a descriptive developmental study. NMDS was searched in several countries; nursing data elements gathered into a questionnaire and then, were prioritized by experts. Using SPSS-PC (v.16.5), mean scores of priorities were calculated and those with more than 80% of mean score (m=2.9) were selected. Results: Findings showed that most data elements had high priority from within nurses , perspective except "residential status (m=2.34 of 3)", "nurses, employment startup date (m=2.36 of 3)", "number of patients (m=2.32 of 3)", "employment end date (m=2.29 of 3)", "Reimbursement type (m=2.23 of 3)", Nurse Gender (m=2.05 of 3) and Nursing budget (m=1.97 of 3). Elements for Iranian Nursing Minimum Data Set (IrNMDS) were offered as nursing care data elements (5 Items), Patient data element (14 Items) and service data element (14 Items). Validity and reliability assessment of data set content, in-service education for nurses and more comprehensive studies regarding the clinical use of this data set is recommended.

Nursing data forms the first level of nursing informatics. These are essential tools for documentation of nursing process by methodology of assessment, diagnosis, interventions, outcomes, evaluation and documentation of patient care. Nursing minimum data set (NMDS) is the first action for standardization of gathering unified and essential nursing data for using in multiple sets and patient groups. The objective of this research was comparison of data elements of nursing minimum data set in selected countries and recommendation for Iran. Methods: This was a descriptive-comparative study and was done at 2009. Nursing minimum data set in the US,

Many clinical and molecular research, which are stored in the different repository with the various format have been conducted in the area of stroke domain. The heterogeneity of these research data does not make a comprehensive view of the disease. Recently, translational research has been developed to fill the gap between these studies. In this study, we used the integrative disease modeling method to model the underlying mechanism of stroke risk factors. Material and Methods : This study was conducted in three steps: data gathering, model construction, and mechanism discovery. First, using semantic and information retrieval tools, we extracted the cause and effect statement from the literature to create the mechanistic model, and the validated molecular data to evaluate the constructed model. Then, the integrative model was created and evaluated. Finally, we used Gene Set Enrich...
