Resumen
AEDO CARRENO, V.; PARADA SANTANDER, T.; ALCAYAGA ROJAS, C. y RUBIO ACUNA, M.. Electronic records for wound assessment for nurses. Enferm. glob. [online]. 2012, vol.11, n.28, pp.386-395. ISSN 1695-6141.
The wound assessment record, is the written and photographic documentation of their development and involves a process of observation, data collection and evaluation. With the advance of computer technology, have implemented various electronic record systems in the area of wound care. This literature review aims to describe the usefulness of electronic records as a support tool in the assessment area of the wounds. We conducted a thorough review of literature, the COCHRANE LIBRARY databases MEDLINE, PUBMED, Proquest NURSING & ALLIED HEALTH SOURCE. Articles published from 1998 to 2010. Among the main results suggest that having an excellent documentation of assessment of injury, is essential due to medical reasons, legal, research, teaching, administration and human resources and communication with different members of health team. There are many benefits in using the use of electronic registration system (ERS), but there is no consensus whether the ERS or the manual registration system is the best way to record the activities of nursing. We recommend creating a user-friendly electronic format, with the participation of professionals working in the area of information technology, along with nursing professionals to define exactly what should be recorded in the assessment of injuries.
