International Nursing Review
|November 5, 1998
Abstract:
Efforts to develop an International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP) were initiated nearly a decade ago. To update nurses on progress, below is a critical review of the ICNP using the Computer-based Patient Record Institute (CPRI) Features Framework and a discussion of its relevance to current US efforts: 1) the activities of the American Nurses' Association (ANA) Steering Committee on Databases To Support Clinical Nursing Practice; 2) implementation of formal approaches for representing nursing concepts and 3) Health Level 7 standards.
