Published every three years, the current edition includes 206 nursing diagnoses, each of which has undergone a rigorous assessment process by NANDA-I with stringent criteria to indicate the strength of the underlying level of evidence. Each diagnosis comprises a label or name for the diagnosis and a definition. Actual diagnoses include defining characteristics and related factors. Risk diagnoses include risk factors. Many diagnoses are further modified by terms such as effective, ineffective, impaired, imbalanced, readiness for, disturbed, decreased etc. The book is offered in both print and electronic/PDA formats. The NANDA-I Nursing Diagnosis Reference Card summarizes our 206 nursing diagnoses and includes an outline of the nursing process (assessment, diagnosis, interventions and outcomes). This reference is widely used by nursing faculty and students, as well as clinicians in practice settings. Critical Thinking to Achieve Positive Health Outcomes: Nursing Case Studies and Analyses uses the latest research findings to apply critical thinking processes for the development of diagnostic reasoning skills. Critical thinking is also demonstrated through the selection of patient outcomes and nursing interventions to achieve these outcomes. Approximately 60 actual case studies provided by an international list of contributors and their ultimate resolution to diagnosis intervention and outcome illustrate the critical thinking process and provide a valuable learning tool. Cases are organized into four sections; problem diagnoses, risk diagnoses, health promotion diagnoses and strength diagnoses. PROFESSIONAL JOURNAL The International Journal of Nursing Terminologies and Classifications communicates efforts to develop, test, and implement standardized nursing labels in many different languages and cultures across the globe. This is the nursing journal that documents the science behind the labels. The journal keeps nurses around the world current on activities to include these terminologies in international databases that monitor and store health-related information. TAXONOMY LICENSING The NANDA-I Taxonomy is ISO compatible, HL7 registered, SNOMED – CT available, UMLS included and ANA recognized. Licensees include book publishers and health information technology system developers worldwide, using translations in 15 languages. Our terminology is often integrated with other standardized nursing languages, such as NIC (Nursing Interventions) and NOC (Nursing Outcomes) to provide nurses with an automated solution for the complete nursing process (assessment, diagnosis, interventions and outcomes). INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCES The NANDA-I 2012 conference will offer worldwide attendees a wide range of workshops, keynotes, oral and poster presentations, symposia and panel discussions. In 2011, we’ll begin a new Latin American series of biennial symposia, with the first event planned for Brazil. ADVOCACY FOR INTERNATIONAL NURSING AND PATIENT SAFETY We seek and forge productive alliances with colleagues in order to advance international professional nursing standards and improve patient care and safety: The mission of the Center for Nursing Classification and Clinical Effectiveness (Center) is to create a collaborative relationship between the NANDA International (NANDA) and to advance the development, testing, and refinement of nursing languages: Nursing Diagnoses (NANDA), Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC), and Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) to expand the development of nursing knowledge and clinical practice.NANDA International is one of over twenty member organizations collaborating within the Alliance for Nursing Informatics (ANI). This collaboration of organizations represents the unified voice for nursing informatics. The Alliance offers a structure to discuss methods to advance nursing informatics professionals in improving the delivery of patient care. NANDA-I is a full member of ANI because we have a body of knowledge and skills in a defined area relevant to nursing informatics supported by our documentation within journal publications, nursing diagnoses and research to support patient care. The TIGER (Technology Informatics Guiding Educational Reform) initiative is a collective volunteer effort among nursing professionals across the country to prepare the healthcare professional for the mandate that all United States citizens will have an electronic health record by the year 2014. The goal is to generate action plans to support training and education of over 2 million nurses represented across multiple organizations: the Alliance for Nursing Informatics, American Nurses Association, American Organization of Nurse Executives and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing. Our Membership Network Groups foster international collaboration among NANDA-I members in both developed and developing countries. Network groups work on development and revision of nursing diagnoses; host regional conferences, and offer support among colleagues relative to nursing diagnosis use, teaching methods, translation issues, etc. NANDA-I members travel worldwide to attend group meetings and conferences, to teach and assist with the study and application of nursing diagnosis. Network Group coordinators have a direct voice in the future of NANDA International policy and direction, through membership on the NANDA-I Membership and External Relations Committee.
