title: [Instrument of technological and policy innovation in health and nursing work--the experience of ICNP/CIPESC].
abstract: This paper presents a reflection on the ICNP and CIPESC construed as a technological innovation capable of sustaining the nursing knowledge. They may be considered as product and process innovations that, inserted on complex realities, must estimate values and local cultures. The CIPESC strengthens the presence of phenomena from the nursing practice in the SUS and to survive with autonomy and sharing information, it should be combined with institutional information systems and the ICNP, thus it will establish cultural values strong enough to be available and to interact with systems of language of the profession as well as with systems in use in the SUS context. Our challenge is to overcome the use of a classification system as a mere instrument of work and view it as a technological innovation able to produce changes that will give the opportunity for nursing work.
