A review of major nursing vocabularies and the extent to which they have the characteristics required for implementation in computer-based systems.
Building on the work of previous authors, the Computer-based Patient Record Institute (CPRI) Work Group on Codes and Structures has described features of a classification scheme for implementation within a computer-based patient record. The authors of the current study reviewed the evaluation literature related to six major nursing vocabularies (the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association Taxonomy 1, the Nursing Interventions Classification, the Nursing Outcomes Classification, the Home Health Care Classification, the Omaha System, and the International Classification for Nursing Practice) to determine the extent to which the vocabularies include the CPRI features. None of the vocabularies met all criteria. The Omaha System, Home Health Care Classification, and International Classification for Nursing Practice each included five features. Criteria not fully met by any systems were clear and non-redundant representation of concepts, administrative cross-references, syntax and grammar, synonyms, uncertainty, context-free identifiers, and language independence.

Challenges and issues related to implementation of nursing vocabularies in computer-based systems.
As key stakeholders from the clinical setting and vendor communities, the authors share a summary of their collective experience related to the challenges and issues associated with implementing the vocabularies recognized by the American Nurses Association in several installations of commercially available clinical information systems. Although the focus of the article is on summarizing the challenges and issues, it is of note that the authors' experiences across care settings suggest that the experience and effort of using one of the ANA-recognized vocabularies in a computer-based system are essentially worthwhile and positive. The issues and challenges fall into two categories: 1) those related to the developmental status of nursing vocabularies, and 2) those related to the adoption or implementation of new technology.

Nursing Interventions Classification implementation issues in five test sites.
The authors describe the implementation of the Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC), a standardized nursing language in five test sites: Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, Lebanon, New Hampshire; Genesis Medical Center, Davenport, Iowa; Loyola University Medical Center, Maywood, Illinois; Oaknoll Retirement Residence, Iowa City, Iowa; and The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, Iowa City, Iowa. A description of NIC is provided along with a discussion of implementation issues and recommendations for implementation.
