Standardized nursing terminology and codes were developed for patient records to enable effectiveness research. This nursing data can now be effectively captured and shared in a central database.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Informatics
  • Health Data Standards
  • Clinical Data Management

Background:

  • Accurate recording of nursing care information is crucial for clinical decision-making and research.
  • Existing nursing documentation methods often lack standardization, hindering data aggregation and analysis.
  • The need for a unified system to capture nursing data for effectiveness research is widely recognized.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop standardized terminology and coding systems for nursing diagnoses, interventions, and outcomes.
  • To facilitate the abstraction of nursing care information into a shared database.
  • To support nursing effectiveness research through standardized data collection.

Main Methods:

  • A collaborative project involving multiple institutions (University of Virginia, Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, University Hospital Consortium).

  • Compilation, classification, and coding of terms from existing standards of care.
  • Development of terms for nursing diagnoses/patient care problems, nursing interventions/patient care activities, and patient outcomes.

    • Main Results:

    • Developed 209 standard terms and codes for nursing diagnoses/patient care problems.
    • Developed 122 standard terms and codes for expected patient outcomes.
    • Developed 545 standard terms and codes for nursing interventions/patient care activities.
    • Preliminary findings indicate adequacy of developed terms for capturing nursing data in patient records across specialty units.

    Conclusions:

    • Standardized nursing terminology and codes have been successfully developed.
    • The developed system is capable of capturing essential nursing data from patient records.
    • This initiative lays the groundwork for enhanced nursing effectiveness research through data standardization.
