Input is gathered through various methods, including:
Patient Assessment: This involves a systematic approach to collect data about the patient’s physical, psychological, and social health.
Electronic Health Records (EHR): EHR systems are used to store and manage patient information digitally, making it easily accessible for healthcare providers.
Nursing Documentation: Nurses document their observations, interventions, and patient responses in medical charts or electronic systems.
Communication: Effective communication with patients, families, and other healthcare providers is key to gathering accurate and comprehensive input.
