Summary
The Finnish Care Classification (FinCC) was revised to better align with nursing practices. The updated FinCC 4.0, incorporating evidence-based research, is set for publication.
Area of Science:
- Health Informatics
- Nursing Science
Background:
- Finland utilizes a standardized nursing documentation model, including the nursing process model and the Finnish Care Classification (FinCC).
- A revised version of FinCC aimed to enhance compliance with clinical nursing practices and improve usability.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the alignment of the developed FinCC with current nursing practices.
- To assess the pragmatism and understandability of the revised FinCC.
Main Methods:
- An e-questionnaire was distributed to 34 healthcare organizations and 14 Universities of Applied Sciences in Finland.
- Data collected were organized in Excel, and narrative comments underwent qualitative analysis.
Main Results:
- The revised FinCC demonstrated a mean score above four (on a 1-5 scale) across 17 components of both the Finnish Index of Functional Ability for Children with Disabilities (FICND) and the Finnish Index of Functional Ability for Neonates and Infants (FICNI).
- Significant revisions incorporated diverse scales and evidence-based research into terminology development.
Conclusions:
- The study confirmed the need for revisions in the FinCC based on user feedback and practical application.
- The findings informed the development of FinCC 4.0, scheduled for publication in late 2019, reflecting improved integration with nursing practice.

Effective documentation is an integral part of nursing practice. Here are some essential guidelines to follow when documenting patient care:
Timely documentation is crucial to ensure continuity of care for patients. Any delays in recording or reporting medical information can result in medical errors and even adverse patient outcomes. From medication administration to diagnostic test results, every detail must be accurately and promptly documented to provide the best possible care for patients.

Charting by Exception, or CBE, is a method of documentation used in healthcare, particularly in nursing, that focuses on documenting only significant or abnormal findings rather than recording every detail. This approach aims to streamline the documentation process, improve efficiency, and ensure that healthcare providers can quickly identify deviations from normalcy in patient assessments.
In CBE, healthcare professionals establish predefined standards of practice that define what constitutes...
