Methods A systematic review of the literature published between 2000 and 2014 was conducted, searching electronic databases of Ovid MEDLINE, PUB MED, Cochrane CENTRAL Register of Controlled Trials, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Web of Knowledge, Scopus, Google Scholar, ULAKBIM Turkish Medical Database and Council of Higher Education Thesis Center. The primary key word “Omaha System” and its Turkish translations were used for searching. Methodological quality of the reviewed research studies was evaluated with Joanna Briggs Institute MAStARI Critical Appraisal checklists for identifying methodological flaws in the studies included. Articles were included if studies were conducted in Turkey and published in either Turkish or English. All articles were read and then categorized to one of five categories: “analyzing client problems”, “clinical process”, “client outcomes”, “advanced classification research”, and “reports on unpublished master’s and doctoral dissertations”.

Available at http:ojni.org/12_2/lundberg.pdf Page 2 of 20 Abstract Using standardized terminology within electronic health records is critical for nurses to communicate their impact on patient care to the multidisciplinary team. The universal requirement for quality patient care, internal control, efficiency and cost containment, has made it imperative to express nursing knowledge in a meaningful way that can be shared across disciplines and care settings. The documentation of nursing care, using an electronic health record, demonstrates the impact of nursing care on patient care and validates the significance of nursing practice.

  • Cross-Mapping the ICNP with NANDA, HHCC, Omaha System and NIC for Unified Nursing Language System Development
    Original article Cross-mapping the ICNP with NANDA, HHCC, Omaha System and NIC for unified nursing language system development S. Hyun MSN, RN & H. A. Park PhD, RN 1 Researcher, College of Nursing Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea 2 Associate Professor, College of Nursing Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea Keywords Abstract Cross-mapping, ICNP, Nursing language plays an important role in describing and defining nursing Nursing Languages, Unified Nursing phenomena and nursing actions. There are numerous vocabularies describing Language System nursing diagnoses, interventions and outcomes in nursing. However, the lack of a standardized unified nursing language is considered a problem for further development of the discipline of nursing. In an effort to unify the nursing languages, the International Council of Nurses (ICN) has proposed the International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP) as a unified nursing language system. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the inclusiveness and expressiveness of the ICNP terms by cross-mapping them with the existing nursing terminologies, specifically the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (NANDA) taxonomy I, the Omaha System, the Home Health Care Classification (HHCC) and the Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC). Nine hundred and seventy-four terms from these four classifications were cross-mapped with the ICNP terms. This was performed in accordance with the Guidelines for Composing a Nursing Diagnosis and Guidelines for Composing a Nursing Intervention, which were suggested by the ICNP development team. An expert group verified the results. The ICNP Phenomena Classification described 87.5% of the NANDA diagnoses, 89.7% of the HHCC diagnoses and 72.7% of the Omaha System problem classification scheme.

The seriousness of the disease requires a multi-disciplinary approach when providing patients with secondary and tertiary care. Patients also have specific problems from the nursing perspective that require intervention of nurses, e.g. in the area of nutrition. The role of a nurse in a specific community lies in supporting public health in the field of prevention, health education, group educational activities and care of the acutely or chronically ill. The regulation tool of nursing practice when providing community care is the documented form of nursing data expressed by means of expert terminology. The Omaha System is a standardised terminology for multi-disciplinary teams providing community care. The objective of the research is to draw attention to the possibility of using standardised terminology of the Omaha System when supporting public health in patients with Crohn’s disease with nutrition problems. The research was divided into 3 stages: in the first stage we assessed the nutrition problem in 100 patients dispensarised in gastroenterology counselling centres using a form from the Omaha System. Out of these, identified 42 patients suffered from Crohn’s disease and had problems with nutrition; in the second stage we chose interventions for nutrition from the Intervention Scheme of the Omaha System: their efficiency in patients was assessed by a nurse/nutritionist in the third stage of the research when the patients came to the gastroenterology counselling centre using Problem Rating Scale for Outcomes.

  • Omaha System Excellence Awards 2015
    Omaha System Excellence Awards 2015 The biannual awards for meaningful and continued contributions to the Omaha System in Practice, Education, and Research were presented at the April 2015 Omaha System International Conference. An Excellence in Practice award was presented to Nicole Koster, Physiotherapist, MS-Public Health, The Netherlands. Nicole is employed at Ecare, the first company in The Netherlands to develop Omaha System software. She is a PhD candidate at the University of Twente. She is co- founder of and a member of the Board of Directors at the Omaha System Support Europe Foundation, which focuses on European users of the Omaha System. For the last four years, Nicole has been the driving force to implement software for an electronic health record based on the Omaha System at Buurtzorg Nederland, a national homecare organization. She is currently analyzing Omaha System-based health informatics for insurance companies, which would enable them to contract with healthcare organizations based on measured outcomes. Nicole is a well-known speaker and author about the Omaha System. She wrote the first official publication of the Dutch translation of the Omaha System, enabling Dutch health care professionals and software firms to access the Omaha System. A posthumous Excellence in Practice award was presented to Judith G. Riemer, RN, PHN, CNS, MS. Judith received her BSN from UCLA School of Nursing, Riverside, California. She was a co- chair of the Omaha System International Conferences from 2008-2013 and served on the Omaha System Board of Directors from 2009-2015.
