Documentation in home healthcare may take many forms. Some nurses use NANDA-I terminology for diagnoses, whereas others use the Clinical Care Classification (CCC) system. The chief benefit of the CCC system is that it:
a. Contains diagnoses specific to home care, whereas NANDA-I does not
b. Is simpler to use and more readily understood by other disciplines
c. Is linked to the OASIS reporting forms required by Medicare
d. Uses standardized terminology, whereas NANDA-I does not
C
Home care nurses more commonly use the CCC because it is linked to the OASIS reporting forms required by Medicare. The CCC was developed for use in home care; however, the diagnoses themselves are not specific to home care. They can be used in any setting. NANDA-I, NIC, and NOC all use standardized language that may be used in any setting, including home healthcare. NIC and NOC have some interventions and outcomes that are specific to home care use.
