The Impact of Electronic Knowledge-Based Nursing Content and Decision-Support on Nursing-Sensitive Patient Outcomes

Abstract

Background: Advances in health information technology (HIT) and the use of evidence-based (EB), clinical decision support (CDS) tools in electronic health records (EHR) hold great promise, but are relatively untested for nurses. Researchers have suggested that the impact of an electronic innovation must include a description of the sociotechnical context as well as the process and outcome metrics for optimal accuracy. Objective: To use the Dissemination and Implementation of Evidence-based Policy Framework (adapted from Dodson, Brownson, & Weiss, 2012) to evaluate the impact of the KBN Innovation, featuring actionable EB recommendations embedded into policy and the content and CDS tools in the EHR to support nurses to use best practices for six phenomena to improve patient outcomes
