A guide to assist nurse practitioners with standardized nursing language.
Full Abstract
The purpose of this project was to develop a guide to support use of the Omaha System in primary care. The Omaha System is a community practice-based standardized nursing language developed by the Visiting Nurses Association (VNA) of Omaha, NE. Nurse practitioners at a primary care faculty practice clinic began using the Omaha System to describe more completely the advanced nursing care provided to clients, beyond ICD-9 and CPT codes. After 9 months of data collection, key faculty members convened to analyze the data and discuss issues in coding and interpretation. To simplify use of the system and facilitate orientation of new faculty, this group devised a Primary Care Guide for the Omaha System. High-frequency problems and interventions were identified. Definitions of the intervention categories were reviewed, and targets appropriate for the primary care environment were recorded. The result was a concise, user-friendly guide to assist the primary care nurse practitioner in the use of standardized nursing language.
