The
basic tool of the PLAISIR©
system is the
"FRAN©"
form
which
is described heading by heading in PLAISIR©
reference manual.
This form allows one to collect very detailed information about the
client : his
bio-psycho-social profile and certain services he has received (first 3 pages of
the form) and his profile of nursing care and assistance required over the last
7 days (the following 29 pages of the form) (an electronic version of the FRAN©
is now available).
The
FRAN©
form is filled in by a nurse evaluator who will refer to :
-
the
client's chart;
-
his
care plan;
-
the
institution binder for treatment(s) or analysis(es);
-
the
institution binder for protocols;
-
any
other available pertinent data.
If
need be, the evaluator will question nursing personnel responsible for the
client, other health care professionals, the client and his family.
According to the complexity of the cases, an evaluator can fill 5 to 10 FRANs©,
(evaluations)
per
day.
The
completed forms are sent to a data processing centre.
The FRAN©
is then entered on computer which is programmed to detect, any
missing data, impossible, incoherent or improbable responses.
The computer then produces an output which is a compact yet exhaustive
version of the contents of the FRANs©, accompanied by messages signalling the
data needing particular attention.
This compact version of the FRAN is called IMPFRAN©.
The
IMPFRANs© are submitted to a nurse-desk-reviewer who specializes in verifying the
FRANs©. She
desk-reviews the IMPFRAN©
to detect any missing data, errors and incongruencies.
Following this desk-review, the nurse contacts the client institution, by
telephone and questions the care-giver(s)
or evaluator to complete and correct the IMPFRAN©
of the client.
According to the complexity of the cases, a nurse-desk-reviewer can
process 2 to 8 IMPFRANs© per hour.
Once
this step is completed, the IMPFRAN© is returned to the clerk entering the data
who then makes the necessary changes in the data base.
The data is now ready for processing in order to produce the outputs of
the PLAISIR©
system.
