The Purpose of NANDA International
NANDA International is committed to increasing the visibility of nursing's contribution to patient
care by continuing to develop, refine and classify phenomena of concern to nurses.
The Vision of NANDA International
For development of the discipline, the NANDA International Board believes that:
•
Nursing diagnosis is seen as an essential component of any professional nursing/client interaction
• NANDA International is recognized as a major contributor to nursing knowledge development through the identification and use of concepts that are the building blocks of nursing science.
• NANDA International is recognized as the leader in development and classification of
nursing diagnoses.
NANDA International is a member driven, grassroots organization committed to the development of nursing diagnostic
terminology. The desired outcome of the Association's work is to provide nurses at all levels and in all areas of practice with a standardized nursing terminology with which to:
- name client responses to actual or potential health problems, life processes, and wellness;
- document care for reimbursement of nursing services;
- contribute to the development of informatics and information standards, ensuring the inclusion of nursing terminology
in electronic health care records; and
- facilitate study of the phenomena of concern to nurses for the purpose of improving patient care.
Nursing terminology is the key to defining the future of nursing practice and NANDA International is in the forefront. Join us and become part of this exciting process!
