Which classification system promotes standardized language that will improve computer interoperability in nursing?
a. NANDA-I nursing diagnoses
b. National Patient Safety Goals
c. QSEN competencies
d. Patient Bill of Rights
A
Standardizing the language of nursing diagnoses (NANDA-International taxonomy) improves interoperability among computer systems and software programs. Although improving interoperability and interprofessional communication through the use of standardized languages indirectly improves patient safety, the primary purpose of the National Patient Safety Goals is to improve patient safety. The Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) Initiative was designed to guide future nurses with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSAs) necessary to provide quality and safe patient care within the healthcare systems in which they work. The Patient Bill of Rights advocates for protection of patient information, fair treatment, and autonomy over medical decisions, among other rights—rather than standardizing nursing language.
