To realize easy-to-understand description of nursing practice terminology for consumer.
In Japan it is an important issue to introduce Electronic Health Records (EHR) in over 60% of hospitals with more than 400 beds. Introducing E.H.R is supposed to help provide a safe medical environment as well as practice medicine by description in plain terms among professionals and among patients and medical professions. We've developed Nursing Pr Terminology understandable to consumers visualization of nursing action, and arranged them by level and category. However, it is still difficult to express the appropriate contents because they consist of expert decisions and processes. Hereafter, it is a very important challenge of ours to develop an easy-to-understand description of the Nursing Practice Terminology to supply safe and patient-centered medicine to consumers.
