Why NANDA-NIC-NOC are not open source?

[jesusignazio]

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.

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

NANDA is a pathetic case of, "Look! Nursing is so different we came up with our own redundant proprietary language different from the rest of healthcare!"

It was created by an ivory tower academic movement that stated in the 70s. Ostensibly it was to allow nurses to diagnose and bill separately without ever asking the question if their system was actually useful, needed, or practical. These academics also hoped to reap a profit while they were at it.

That any nursing school still wastes students' time on NANDA is yet another sad example of how disconnected nursing academia is from the real world of healthcare.

NANDA helped me as a first year student prioritize and form a plan of care...we've moved away from it in the second year though.

You can up with any number of schema and and approaches to help think about patient physiology and care.

Look at CPR! C-A-B

Look at emergency care: ABCDE and that is pretty universal whether you are a paramedic, a trauma nurse, RT or a medical intern.

These are not just understood by a few nurses in school: they are used every day across disciplines!

Now those are models of diagnostic of care prioritization that check for diagnoses. For actual diagnostic nomenclature, everyone in medicine uses the same basic diagnoses... except NANDA. You have to go to non-evidenced-based medicine to find anything that departs so thoroughly. It took until 2015 for NANDA to remove its most egregious pseudo-scientific diagnosis: "Disturbed Energy Field" even though it was BS from the start, but some la-la-land nursing theorists were enamored with the "therapeutic touch" and that "intervention" needed to have a "diagnosis" to apply to.

That NANDA is not used outside nursing school, much less outside nursing, is a clue of its proprietary and redundant nature.

That would imply that it was actually useful!

All part of a bad nic-noc joke in the evil world of acronym land!
