A Bedside PC Charting System for Nursing Students using Clinical Care Classification (CCC) System

This study tested a PC based version of the CCC System on students' performance of charting patient care plans. The application was designed for any PC with Windows and Microsoft Office(r) programs. The PC based system was tested in a randomized trial with the control group using a type-in text-based only system also mounted on the bedside computer. The results demonstrate that the application is efficient and effective for nursing care charting using the nursing process and capturing patient care information with a language that is standardized and ready for integration with other patient electronic health record (E.H.R) data.
