Abstract

In the Japanese clinical setting, expert nursing, and at the same time quality and safety assurance, are demanded. To provide nursing service with reliable assurance of nursing quality and safety, structural visualization of the thought, judgment and behavior processes of nursing practice and widespread application through development of IT applied systems are required. We have discussed and developed the structural visualization of programmed care in the field of diabetes self-management education, which is an area of expert nursing care. In this article, we report the programmed care for dietary therapy.
