Clinical nursing upgrade! Wan Fang establishes empirical knowledge translation center.

The quality of in-patient care will be improved again! Wan Fang Hospital announced the establishment of an empirical knowledge translation center, and the future clinical nursing will be based on empirical research. In the future, the clinical nursing of inpatients in wards will no longer see unfamiliar or difficult situations encountered by medical staff, and it is necessary to consult textbooks or ask medical predecessors with similar experience in the past to formulate appropriate clinical nursing methods for patients.

With the help of information technology, clinical nurses can immediately obtain the latest scientific evidence as the basis for clinical decision-making, monitor patients' condition and provide quality clinical care for patients.

The Institute of Medicine (IOM) calls for 90% medical clinical decision-making in the United States to be based on accurate, timely and up-to-date research evidence before 2020, and evidence-based medicine is listed as one of the five essential skills for clinical staff. Since 2003, doctors and medical staff in Taiwan Province Province have been trained in evidence-based medicine, which promotes the development of clinical nursing in the direction of evidence-based.

Since 200 1, Wan Fang Hospital has set up an experiential medical center, which is dedicated to promoting experiential medical care. In 2008, six clinical nursing guidelines were published, including prevention of falls for adult inpatients, prevention of urinary tract infection for patients with long-term indwelling catheter, management of children's fever, enteral feeding for acute and severe patients, management of excretion for the elderly, and maintenance of respiratory function, which were promoted and exchanged in Taiwan Province province and internationally, and received positive comments.

Vice President Gao Jingqiu said that in the future, a clinical nursing information system will be established to assist clinical decision-making, so as to speed up the clinical application of empirical knowledge, train domestic knowledge translation nursing teams, build medical teaching based on empirical knowledge, establish and share platforms and local database platforms, and promote knowledge translation research and international exchanges, with a view to realizing the vision that "clinical nursing can be based on empirical knowledge".
