Abstract
The application of computer use in the clinical and educational arena needs to be emphasized for both the improved management of patient data and nursing knowledge. Faculty commitment to automation of home visit documentation records was essential to sustain the trial of implementing the Nightingale Trackers in the clinical area. The Nightingale Tracker is a software program that automates the Omaha system, a community-friendly nursing language that encourages a focus on health promotion. A team approach involving students, faculty, and technical support enabled the automation of the patient record of a home visiting program in a community health nursing course.Keywords
