Health classification systems, nationally and internationally, enable the collection of quality health data to manage and improve healthcare delivery. The influence on healthcare delivery and outcomes management of many health classification systems is well understood, however, little is known about the influence of nursing classification systems such as the International Classification of Nursing Practice (ICNP) on quality data collection and nursing care. The aim of this review article is to explicate the role and implications of health classification systems for nursing care and practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
