Is the Omaha System periodically updated to reflect changes in practice, documentation, and information management?
Yes. The Omaha System has been updated numerous times since 1975. In 2001, a 12-member, international Board of Directors was formed with representatives who have diverse practice, education, research, and automation expertise related to the Omaha System. One purpose of this Board is to develop an action plan to review and revise the Omaha System on an ongoing basis, reflecting the results of current research, experiences of national and international expert users, the work of the Minnesota Omaha System Users Group, and all suggestions. More details about the current version of the Omaha System are described in Appendix B. A similar multi-step, triangulated approach will be initiated for the next revision before the Omaha System book is published again.
