1. ANA.
2. HIPAA.
3. NANDA.
4. The Omaha system.
5. HHCC.

Rationale 4: ANA Nursing Information and Data Set Evaluation Center (NIDSEC) has established guidelines for the use of nursing terminology by companies that are creating software programs for nursing application. In doing this, NIDSEC recognizes the classification systems that include the Omaha System.

In doing this, NIDSEC recognizes the classification systems that include the Home Health Care Classification (HHCC).
