title: Reorganized structure and other proposals for the ICNP development. International Classification for Nursing Practice.
abstract: All of those who are engaged in the International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP) project are aware of the mistakes still being found in its classification. However, these are not recognized as faults, but rather as a challenge for better work and continuous efforts on its improvement. This article discusses proposed changes to the structure of the ICNP, according to the rules of building such 'tools', as well as new axes that can be added to make the classification beneficial across a broader spectrum of applications, not solely in electronic patient record-keeping and statistics.
