NANDA International Nursing Diagnosis Submission Expedited Review Process

Expedited Review Process

The Expedited Review Process (ERP) is appropriate only for proposed revisions of current diagnoses. The ERP is a streamlined process intended to facilitate rapid review of proposed revisions of diagnoses when the proposed revisions are considered by the DDC to be minor in nature and do not alter the original intent of the diagnoses. Examples of such revisions may include editing and clarification of definition or limited addition of defining characteristics or related factors

1.	Review of submission by the primary Diagnosis Development Committee (DDC) reviewer.
2.	Primary DDC reviewer works with submitter to address needed changes that need to be made.
3.	Submission is forwarded to full DDC for review.
4.	DDC recommends one of the following:

a.	Approve with no recommendations
b.	Approve pending follow-through with recommendations (most frequent DDC decision)
c.	Disapprove

5.	The primary DDC reviewer forwards the DDC recommendations to the submitter and works with the submitter to make the recommended changes.
6.	Submissions approved by the DDC are forwarded to the NANDA-I Board of Directors for approval.
