Standard classification of terms used in health care, particularly nursing data, along with definitions would greatly benefit computer-based patient records. Which of the following are among those systems used in the United States?
______ HIPAA
______ NIC
______ NANDA
______ The Omaha system
______ HHCC
______ NOC
______ ANA
______ ICN
Correct Answer: NIC; NANDA; The Omaha system; HHCC; NOC
Rationale : HIPAA is a piece of legislation that increased privacy access to health records. The ANA has a position statement on privacy, confidentiality of medical records, and the nurse's role, but it is not one of the classification systems used in the United States. The ICN has proposed an International Classification for Nursing Practice, but it may take years to determine which standards will allow optimal access to and manipulation of computerized records.
