Application and effect assessment of information extraction technology in pressure injury management

Abstract

Objective To explore the application and effects of information extraction technology in pressure injury management. Methods From January 2017 to December 2017, we used the information extraction technology to extract data on pressure injury in He'nan Provincial People's Hospital, and we compared the report process of pressure injury, labor loss, recognition of nurses with different levels on pressure injury management process, accuracy rate of pressure injury stage and integrity rate of wound record before and after application. Results After the application of information extraction technology in pressure injury management, the report process of pressure injury reduced from 5 steps to 2 steps per case; labor loss changed from 8 people to 2 people; the convenience evaluation of nurses on pressure injury management process was 92.9% higher than that (81.0%) before application, and the timeliness evaluation was 95.8% higher than that (87.4%) before application with statistical differences (P<0.01) ; compared with those before application, the accuracy rate of pressure injury stage was 93.2% increased by 20.2%, and the integrity rate of wound record was 89.7% increased by 18.5% with statistical differences (P<0.01) . Conclusions The application of information extraction technology could improve the effectiveness of pressure injury management, raise the recognition of nurses with different levels on pressure injury management process as well as management capacity and optimize the process of information collection which could effectively serve clinical nursing management.
