Study Notes
Standardized Nursing Terminologies
Importance of Standardized Nursing Terminologies
- Advanced practice nurses need to understand standardized nursing terminology lists and classification systems to deliver high-quality healthcare efficiently.
- Standardized nursing terminologies facilitate capturing, representing, accessing, and communicating nursing data, information, and knowledge.
History of Nursing Terminologies
- Nursing terminologies and vocabulary structures first developed in 1973 and have undergone significant changes since then.
- The American Nurses Association (ANA) created a process to recognize languages, vocabularies, and terminologies that support nursing practice in 1989.
ANA-recognized Standardized Terminologies
- There are seven recognized terminologies specifically designed for use in nursing, including:
- Clinical Care Classification (CCC)
- Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC)
- Omaha System
- Perioperative Nursing Data Set (PNDS)
- These terminologies address specific nursing situations, both dependent and independent nursing functions.
Clinical Care Classification (CCC)
- Originally designed for electronic coding to predict home healthcare use for Medicare patients.
- Enables efficient documentation and prediction of healthcare use.
Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC)
- Intended to provide a measurable way to evaluate the effect of nursing interventions on patient progress.
- Consists of 490 outcomes with indicators to evaluate patient status.
- Used as an educational tool for nursing students.
Omaha System
- Originally devised for home healthcare nurses to document care.
- Includes terminology for nursing diagnosis, interventions, and outcomes.
- Helpful for planning care and communicating between disciplines.
Perioperative Nursing Data Set (PNDS)
- Intended to make visible to administrators the patient problems that perioperative nurses manage.
- Includes 93 nursing diagnoses, 151 nursing interventions, and 38 nurse-sensitive patient outcomes.
- Helpful for generating appropriate interventions and outcomes.
Interdisciplinary Terminologies
- ANA-recognized interdisciplinary terminologies include:
- SNOMED CT
- LOINC (Logical Observation Identifiers, Names, and Codes)
- LOINC was originally designed for communicating laboratory assessments but has expanded to include coding of assessment data for EHR.
- SNOMED CT and LOINC are used for retrieving information on the same term for many patients.
Approaches to Nursing Terminology
- Nursing terminologies have evolved significantly over the past several decades, from simple lists to large, complex ontologies.
- Evolution has been facilitated by advances in knowledge representations and technologies, such as automated reasoners.
- Examples of terminologies that demonstrate different approaches include NANDA and ICNP.
This quiz covers the importance of standardized nursing terminology and classification systems for efficient healthcare delivery. It's essential for advanced practice nurses to understand these systems to provide high-quality care.
