Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Healthcare Informatics
  • Quality Improvement

Background:

  • The Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) provides a standardized framework for measuring patient outcomes.
  • Acute care nursing practice requires relevant and measurable outcomes to evaluate nursing interventions effectively.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) outcomes most relevant to specialty acute care nursing.
  • To evaluate the adequacy and reliability of selected NOC measures in clinical practice.

Main Methods:

  • Data collected from 434 patients across cardiac surgery intensive care, cardiac transplant, and medical units over 14 months.
  • Utilized 36 Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) outcomes that were applied 10 or more times.

Main Results:

  • Thirty-six Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) outcomes were frequently used in acute care settings.
  • Sixteen of these frequently used NOC outcomes demonstrated an inter-rater reliability of 75% or higher, indicating good consistency.

Conclusions:

  • Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) outcomes show potential for accurately documenting nursing intervention effectiveness.
  • Further research is needed to refine analysis of documented NOC outcomes and integrate them into electronic health records.
