Setting standards for nursing data sets in information systems.

The American Nurses Association (ANA) has established the Nursing Information and Data Set Evaluation Center (NIDSEC). The purpose of this Center is to develop and disseminate standards pertaining to information systems that support the documentation of nursing practice, and to evaluate voluntarily submitted information systems against these standards. The need for an evaluation center arises out of a long history of calls for standards pertaining to nursing data and to information systems. Standards have been developed to evaluate the completeness, accuracy and appropriateness of four dimensions of nursing data sets and the systems that contain them 1) nomenclature, 2) clinical content, 3) clinical data repository, and 4) general system characteristics. Once the standards and scoring mechanisms were established, they were tested for reliability and validity. A Content Validity Index (CVI) of 0.875 was established for the scoring tool.

Nursing Information and Data Set Evaluation Center.

The American Nurses Association (ANA) has established the Nursing Information and Data Set Evaluation Center (NIDSEC). The purpose of this Center is to develop and disseminate standards pertaining to information systems that support the documentation of nursing practice, and to evaluate voluntarily submitted information systems against these standards. The target audience for these standards includes both consumers and vendors of clinical information systems. The need for an evaluation center arises out of a long history of calls for standards pertaining to nursing data and to information systems. These calls have come from the Secretary of Health and Human Services Commission on Nursing, the National Commission on Nursing Implementation Project (NICNIP). Standards will be developed to evaluate the completeness, accuracy and appropriateness of four dimensions of nursing data sets and the systems that contain them: 1) Nomenclature; 2) Clinical Content; 3) Clinical Data Repository; and 4) General System Characteristics.

Evaluation of a problem-based access knowledge system using triangulation methods.

A microcomputer-based system designed to provide nurses and physicians access to expert synthesized knowledge in the area of pulmonary arterial waveform troubleshooting has been developed and implemented. Evaluation using triangulation methods show that there was a substantive increase in knowledge in both nurses and physicians.¿.

Attitude of Health Personnel

Toward standard classification schemes for nursing language: recommendations of the American Nurses Association Steering Committee on Databases to Support Clinical Nursing Practice.

The American Nurses Association (ANA) Cabinet on Nursing Practice mandated the formation of the Steering Committee on Databases to Support Clinical Nursing Practice. The Committee has established the process and the criteria by which to review and recommend nursing classification schemes based on the ANA Nursing Process Standards and elements contained in the Nursing Minimum Data Set (NMDS) for inclusion of nursing data elements in national databases. Four classification schemes have been recognized by the Committee for use in national databases. These classification schemes have been forwarded to the National Library of Medicine (NLM) for inclusion in the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) and to the International Council of Nurses for the development of a proposed International Classification of Nursing Practice.

The need for an evaluation center arises out of a long history of calls for standards pertaining to nursing data and information systems. These calls have come from the Secretary of Health and Human Services Commission on Nursing, the National Commission on Nursing Implementation Project, and a joint Task Force appointed by the Congress of Nursing Practice Steering Committee on Databases to Support Clinical Nursing Practice and the Congress of Nursing Practice Committee on Nursing Practice Standards and Guidelines. Standards have been developed to evaluate the completeness, accuracy and appropriateness of four dimensions of nursing data sets and the systems that contain them: (1) nomenclature, (2) clinical content, (3) clinical data repository, and (4) general system characteristics.
