One design model for nursing information systems (NIS)is the protocol or critical pathway design.With this design,all health care providers use a protocol system to document the care they provide,allowing them to select one or more appropriate protocols for a patient.A clinical decision support system is based on "rules" and "if-then" statements,linking information and producing alerts,warnings,or other information for the user.The nursing process design is the most traditional design for an NIS.This design organizes documentation within well-established formats such as admission and postoperative assessments,problem lists,care plans,discharge planning instructions,and intervention lists or notes.Computerized provider order entry (CPOE)is a process by which the health care provider directly enters orders for patient care into the hospital information system.
