Is it simpler to use same disease classification for administrative and statistical reporting?
Not for nursing data, since we do not treat disease but the human response to it. Statistical reporting, if I understand what that means, must include clinical data; administrative data is skewed to the billing process and does not accurately reflect clinical data. Nursing is not represented in any administrative system. We have worked with Werley as she developed the Nursing Minimum Data Set (NMDS), of which nursing diagnosis is one data element and NANDA is a set of appropriate values, and we have worked with the American Organization of Nurse Executives to create the Nursing Management Minimum Data Set which captures workload and work force data to be used with the NMDS. Again, whatever classification system(s) is used must include nursing diagnoses and nursing interventions. 3. To what extent do you feel that your discipline and practice setting are well represented by the current system? Nursing is invisible in the current systems, yet significantly influences patient care and out
