Standards and Interoperability

 Review the pages in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services document SNOMED CT® and the Integrated Problem List (IPL) FAQ’s. Reflect in particular on Section 12.0, “Clinical Indication,” and Section 13.0, “Nursing Specific Questions.” • Consider how standards, standardized data, and interoperability benefit the quality, safety, and costs of care. • View the video The Path to Interoperability from the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology. • Think about how standardized data that can be accessed from any location and on any device may benefit patients and your nursing practice. • Contemplate how the change to an IPL will impact nursing care plans and the use of standardized nursing languages such as NANDA, NIC, and NOC. Post the following: • Explain how standardized data accessed from any location and on any device may benefit patients and your nursing practice. • Describe how standardized data benefits the quality, safety, and costs of care. Explain why this is important for nursing practice. • Explain how the IPL will impact nursing care plans and the use of standardized nursing languages. Note: Post a 3-paragraph (at least 350 words) response. Be sure to use evidence, in-text citations, and essay-level writing skills, including the use of transitional material and organizational frames. Use the writing resources and the Discussion Rubric to develop your post.
