Abstract:
The article argues that the current approach to specifying outcomes of nursing care in high-technology environments obscures rather than illuminates nursing's contributions to health care. Two nursing situations are used to illustrate a reframing of the idea of outcomes from the perspective and language of nursing as caring. Outcomes of nursing care are reconceptualized as value experienced within the nursing situation.
