Why NANDA-NIC-NOC are not open source?

Published

I mean that NANDA pretends to make its diagnoses a normalized standard to provide nursing care around the world.

But by the another hand the fact in which NANDA does not provide and free that diagnoses is highly harming to is own purpose.

Under the pretext of being able to finance the congresses they are spoiling the opportunity to create a common language for all proffesionals.

Why not a free and open source formula?

How efficient is a method that requires all proffesionals to buy a very expensive book and licenses?

If I make a copy of the NANDA in order to study, disclose or work, I am committing an intellectual property crime.

I think that is a paradox a "universal language" with that handicap and it won't improve nursing at all.

Agreed. Kind of like our health care system in general though-- dedicated to improving the health of those that can afford it.

I see what you're saying, but at the same time meh.... I haven't used NANDA-approved language since school anyway. My NDx'ed go something more like: "Pt's BP in toilet because all of his blood gushing from his rectum," or "pt has horrendous pain because his flipping face is shattered."

I don't so much have use for a group who legitimized "disturbed energy field" as a NDx.

Free use of copyrighted material is legally allowed for educational purposes. I've never seen NANDA used by facilities who would potentially need to pay for use of their copyrighted language, and accreditation groups typically don't approve of the use of NANDA language, so it's usually not an issue in those settings. Even in education it seems to be used less, there are a number of nursing schools in my area that do not use NANDA language in their curriculum.

This is why I hate acronyms. I have no idea what NANDA-NIC-NOC is, but it sounds like a new product from Ronco (you older nurses will remember that). "The new NANDA-NIC-NOC! No kitchen is complete without it! It slices, it dices, it grates! And if you order now, we'll throw in the indispensable Klutter-Kracker-Nacker too! Only $29.99! But wait! There's more! Free shipping! That's right! Call 1-800-SKR-BRNM (Sucker-born-every-minute) NOW!

Pretty much sums it up for me. I always envisioned a bunch of grumpy harpies sitting around the break room expressing their disgust that "nurses DON'T diagnose" and deciding to create their own little language that they feel addresses this lack and shores up their egos when in fact it does the exact opposite. Kind of like the Emperor's New Clothes - nothing but air.

But that's just me :D

I challenge you to find the Nanda taxonomy in a link without using mega or torrent links.

That answer is in response to use in an EMR which would require licensing from NANDA, your post asked about making a copy in order to study, copyright law specifically exempts copyright protections for "one-time educational purposes". Exceptions & Limitations: Classroom Use, Fair Use, and more * University of Minnesota Libraries

A proprietary EMR would certainly have to pay a licensing fee to NANDA, however I've never seen an EMR that utilizes NANDA, partly because that would conflict with regulatory and meaningful use requirements that all care planning utilize language that is commonly understood between disciplines.

THIS ALL OF THIS! Why we have to spend time on this crap is completely beyond me. Nursing is fantastic without all of this.
