A microcomputer based community health nursing database magement system

It has become more and more important for community health nursing supervisors and administrators to document the quality and quantity of care delivered by community health agencies. Clearly, there exists a need for a community health nursing management information system (CHN-MIS). Such a system should provide a comprehensive database management system (DBMS) for rapid and cost/effective storage and retrieval of critical information regarding the delivery of care in community health agencies. A system which provides timely and clear management information is critical for both the planning and evaluation of care delivery, especially in a multi-agency multigovernment environment.
