Knowledge- based CIPE® outbreak identification support systems

CIPE® has been consolidating itself worldwide as a unified nursing language system, and thus allows nurses to systematically document their care practice. Increased use of CIPE® demands facilitating tools which favor its incorporation into daily nursing actions. The aim of this study is to describe the design and development of a knowledge-based system used to support the identification of CIPE® outbreaks. This is a hybrid study that included the development of the system and research for content validation. The system consists of 219 production rules in relation to outbreaks of the body process, with questions raised in an interface similar to that used by nurses when preparing the history of nursing. It obtained an 88.43% Content Validity Index. It is believed that the proposed system will contribute to the value of knowledge brought by CIPE ® and will be highlighted and disseminated to actors who need it.
