Nursing Classification

This is a terrific reference for anyone looking to standardize the "language" of nursing. It is especially significant when looking at building electronic medical records-keeping those significant nursing pieces in mind. It also assists a health system with the concept of standardized, evidence-based nursing standards of care, interventions and outcomes.

Great Resource for Nurses

In order for nursing to function in the electronic world, we MUST have a coded standardized professional nomenclature to be represented in the health care record. To ignore that fact is to ignore reality. The NOC work is, in my opinion, the most viable of the standardized outcomes languages. The NINR has supported its development with funding for research on the validity and reliability of the outcomes. Every nurse and student nurse needs to familiarize him/herself with the text and the outcomes language of the nursing profession.

The language of Nursing

Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) authored by Johnson, M, Maas,M. & Moorhead, S. did a outstanding job in difining NOC and enriching my knowledge about NOC.
