Chiron is the first (Dutch) software package with which the NANDA-I, NIC and NOC (NNN) classifications can be used in their mutual relationship. This makes long searching and browsing through the books a thing of the past. In fact, the promise has been fulfilled with Chiron that NNN can be used automatically in the electronic file. It enables you to apply the nursing process resulting in nursing plans for your own patient / case. An advanced diagnostic function allows you to search the classifications quickly and efficiently. You use the data from the anamnesis to gain insight into possible nursing diagnoses with Chiron. In this way you can find out how certain data occur in the determining characteristics and / or the related factors. The links between NANDA and the NIC and NOC are built-in and can even be expanded (although you have to watch out for this because you will have to substantiate that choice).
Chiron has been developed for nursing practice and nursing education for MBO, HBO and Master education. To this end, a number of cases have been built in as examples that can be expanded by the teacher. By collecting the selections of the students, an overview (Statistics) can show which diagnoses, interventions and care results the students have found relevant. Based on these choices, the knowledge can be further deepened in the group discussion.
Summary:
Chiron was a centaur (half-human, half-horse) of Greek mythology. Chiron was a son of Kronos and Philyra and the teacher of Asclepius, the god of medicine, among others. Chiron was distinguished from other centaurs for his wisdom and knowledge of medicine.
