[ Summary ] A centralized monitoring system is being implemented to track various financial factors.As a result, a more economically efficient system has been put in place for the operation of dialysis equipment, including the disposal of waste materials and record keeping.
Therefore, we would do well to examine the relationship of this type of system in relation to nursing care. This type of system is eliminating the need for nurses to operate dialysis equipment manually. Nursing systems may be changed by introducing fixed formulas for the care giving team, thus freeing the attention of the nursing staff, so more attention may be given to the patient.
This type of improved record keeping will enable nurses to concentrate on patient education and consistently high levels of patient care.
