title: Collection of nursing minimum data set (NMDS) could benefit from medical encoding experiences.
abstract: This paper describes the use by nurses of a semi-automatic, natural language oriented, encoder help tool currently in use in the medical sector. The use of a standard language in the daily activities of nurses is not acceptable therefore the use of an encoder will link nursing data collection with a classification system.
