Abstract
Dutch nurses are confronted with health care information systems quite often. However, they do not take full advantage of electronic support for their care activities and professional development. The nursing p rocess is often considered the core of nursing care delivery and guide s the documentation of care. Currently, this process can be supported electronically. However, the actual use of nursing information systems (NISs) in the Netherlands is limited to a few sites. Therefore, it is timely to analyse the problems that exist in the development and use of NISs and to look for solutions to solve them. This paper proposes b oth the nursing information reference model (NIRM), and structured dis cussions for a proper course of action in the development and use of N ISs.
