Why an ICNP? Links among quality, information and policy
Abstract
Work has been underway for over a decade to develop and use the International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP). The International Council of Nurses has released ICNP Alpha and Beta versions. This article is an adaptation of the presentation given at the International Council of Nurses Congress on June 12th, 2001, in Copenhagen, Denmark. When the ICNP was originally drafted, many uses were envisioned. Key among these were that the information generated would be used by clinicians, researchers, administrators and policy makers. This article introduces examples of these uses.
