Across health care settings, many different terms are used to describe the same or similar conditions. For example, a bed sore may alternatively be called a pressure sore, a pressure ulcer, or a decubitus ulcer. While it may be fairly manageable for a nurse to make the connection among these terms, the same cannot be said for a computer system. Nurses have the ability to reason and reflect upon their clinical knowledge. Computer systems are linear, relying on user input to output information. When diverse terms are used, systems are unable to make the connections between the data. For this reason, the health care industry is vigorously moving towards the standardization of terminologies.

This chapter introduces the problems related to terminology and vocabulary standardization across the broader health care field. Nursing-specific.

· Review Chapter 7, “Health Data Standards: Development, Harmonization, and Interoperability”

Health standards, rules, and definitions are requirements for effective and efficient electronic health records (EHRs). This chapter explains various options for these areas and discusses how they can be incorporated into EHRs.

· Appendix A, “Overview of the Clinical Care Classification System”

In this chapter, the authors describe challenges in health care related to clinical care classification and terminology standards. These issues are analyzed and possible solutions are overviewed.

The authors of this article discuss the Work Complexity Assessment (WCA), a process that allows nurses to better understand interventions for patient care. The connection between the WCA, the Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC), and the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) are also discussed.

This article focuses on the Systemized Nomenclature of Medicine – Clinical Terminology (SNOMED CT) and how it can be used to support electronic health records (EHRs). The authors describe how SNOMED CT can contribute to EHR improvement with regard to patient safety, quality care delivery, and decision support functionality.

Discussion: James Cimino’s Desiderata

Desiderata is a Latin word that translates to “something that is wanted or needed.” It is obvious that James Cimino had this translation in mind when he created his “Desiderata for Controlled Medical Vocabularies.” In his work, Cimino outlines 12 desiderata he believes the health care community should consider when constructing medical vocabularies. He also highlights the need to control the vocabulary used within terminology sets, as well as the requirements for doing so.

For electronic health records (EHR) and clinical decision support systems (CDS) to truly be successful, Cimino, along with many other health care professionals, expresses the vital need to standardize and control the terminology being used in health care settings.

For this Discussion, you will use one of Cimino’s desiderata (or themes) to critically appraise a nursing terminology set:

Cimino’s 12 themes for the 21st century:

· Vocabulary content

· Concept orientation

· Concept permanence

· Nonsemantic concept identifiers

· Polyhierarchy

· Formal definitions

· Reject NEC “Not Elsewhere Classified”

· Multiple granularities

· Multiple consistent views

· Representing context

· Graceful evolution

· Recognize redundancy

To prepare:

· Review the article “Desiderata for Controlled Medical Vocabularies in the Twenty-First Century” in this week’s Learning Resources. Consider how each theme aims to control the vocabulary used by nursing terminologies.

· Reflect on prominent standardized nursing terminologies sets, such as NIC, SNOMED, SABA, NANDA, and NOC. How might these terminologies compare to the requirements outlined in Cimino’s 12 themes?

· Select one nursing terminology set and one of Cimino’s themes to further examine. Does the terminology align with the requirements of this theme? Why or why not?

By Day 3
Post a brief description of the nursing terminology set and theme you selected. Explain whether this terminology aligns with the requirements and why. Provide terminology and vocabulary examples to support your answer.

· For this discussion I choose NANDA and Formal definitions. (If it difficult, you can choose NANDA and another one of the 12 Cimino’s Theme’s.

· APA Style, 500-600 words minimum, Master Degree Quality Discussion/assignment work.

· Please follow the instructions and read the part that say “to prepare” before do the paper.

Assignment Expectations
Length: Assignment should be from 3 to 4 pages (750 to 1000 words) in length.

Assessment and Grading: Your paper will be assessed based on the performance assessment grading rubric that is linked within the course. Review it before you begin working on the assignment.

The following guidance appears only in Module 1, but it applies to the assignments throughout the course:

File format: Your work should be prepared using Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, or Excel depending upon the assignment instructions. If an assignment requires video or voice recordings, use media formats that are supported by MyTLC Courses as noted on the Trident Support page.

In-text citations and references: Be sure that all information and ideas in your papers are supported by in-text citations and corresponding references at the end of the paper.

Scholarly sources: At least two references must be included from academic sources (e.g. peer-reviewed journal articles) and include required readings. Online sources must be limited to credible professional and scholarly publications such as peer-reviewed journal articles, e-books, or specific webpages on websites from a university, government, or nonprofit organization (these have extensions .edu, .gov, or .org). Presenting consumer sources such as e-magazines, newspapers, Wikipedia, WebMD, or other commercial websites (these have extensions .com) as references is not appropriate.

Scholarly writing: Use an academic paper format, not an essay based on your opinions or experience. Avoid using the first person in writing. Synthesize what you learned from the sources you read; write papers in your own words; and cite sources within the text, as well as include a properly formatted reference list. APA format is recommended, but you may use another standardized format.

Use of direct quotes: Use of direct quotes should be avoided, as the focus of the assignments is critical thinking. Only use direct quotes when preserving the exact words of an author is necessary. In the rare instance that directly quoted material is used, it must be properly cited (with quotation marks and page numbers in the in-text citation); quotes should not exceed 5-10% of the total paper content.

Book Critique #2
Order Description
BOOK CRITIQUE INSTRUCTIONS
You will submit a 6–10-page, Book Critique assignment in which you will summarize the following book:
• Book Critique 2–Show Me How to Preach Evangelistic Sermons by R. Larry Moyer
Note that the book review must not have a title page or a bibliography page. The bibliographic data, as shown in the above example, will appear at the top of page 1. Your name, city, and school must appear at the end of the paper, flush right. The bibliographic data must be single spaced. The body of the review must be double spaced. All text must be 12-point Times New Roman font. There must be NO footnotes. All citations, even of outside sources (if you use them), must be parenthetical, just as they appear in the example. Page numbers must appear in the top right hand corner of the paper.
The body of the review must consist of an introductory paragraph in which you will include (1) the author’s thesis or theme for the book and (2) your thesis statement regarding the purpose of the book review. It must then contain a brief summary of the contents of the book, followed by a more extensive critique of the book’s strengths and weaknesses. You must seek to identify 2 of the book’s significant strengths and weaknesses. You will derive these strengths and weaknesses based on your findings in answering these simple questions:
• Does the author adequately support and defend his thesis?
• What parts of his/her argument build his thesis and support it?
• What are weaknesses that pose a problem for his/her thesis?
