Terminologies. 5.2.1. Clinical Care Classification System (CCC) The Clinical Care Classification System [1] , is a standardized framework and a coding structure for assessing, documenting, and classifying patient care by nurses and other clinical professionals in any health care setting. The CCC system consists of two interrelated terminologies, the CCC of Nursing Diagnoses and the CCC of Nursing Interventions/Actions. The two terminologies are both classified by 21 Care Components that represent the Functional, Health Behavioural, Physiological, and Psychological Patterns of Patient Care (Table 1: CCC Care Components). Table 10. CCC Care components Care Components Activity Medication Self-Care Bowel/Gastric Metabolic Self-Concept Cardiac Nutritional Sensory Cognitive/Neuro Physical Regulation Skin Integrity Coping Respiratory Tissue Perfusion Fluid Volume Role Relationship Urinary Elimination Health Behavior Safety Life Cycle The CCC System is being used to document nursing care in the electronic health record (EHR) computer-based patient record (CPR) and Personal Health Record (PHR) Systems. It serves as a language for nursing and other health care providers such as physical, occupational, and speech therapists, medical social workers, etc. The CCC System is used to: • Document integrated patient care processes • Classify and track clinical care • Develop evidence-based practice models • Analyze patient profiles and populations • Predict care needs, resources, and costs In 2007, the CCC was accepted by the US Department of Health and Human Services as the first national nursing terminology. The coding structures for the terminologies are based on the ICD- 10 consisting of five alphanumeric characters for information exchange among health care terminologies promoting interoperability. They are used to track and measure patient/client care holistically over time, across settings, population groups, and geographic locations. The CCC has open architecture and is specially designed for computer-based systems – EHR, CIS and PHR. Furthermore, CCC was tested as an international nursing standard based on the An Integrated Reference Terminology Model for Nursing, approved by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO/TC 215: Health Informatics) in October 2003. The computable structure of the CCC is protected under copyright permission.
Terminologies. Many interviewed experts claimed that clinicians prefer to use locally defined value sets that are well-adapted to their needs rather than applying standard terminologies. In addition, it was common to find EHR systems that incorporated their own terminology, with a need to map these terms onto standard terminologies for subsequent uses and for communication. Since multiple terminologies can cover the same domain subject matter, mapping between multiple terminologies was identified as a major difficulty.
Terminologies. Since multiple terminologies can cover the same domain subject matter, mapping between multi- ple terminologies was identified as a major difficulty. It was found helpful to have clarification on the application of terminologies, for example as provided by the Meaningful Use program specifying which terminologies and vocabularies are applied for each purpose. Interviewees also reported difficulties in using the updating mechanisms provided by international terminologies, and that terminology development organizations need to provide more support and explanation about the introduction of new terms and changes to hierarchies. It was noted that there are still few rules for post-coordination, which is something that clinicians found very difficult. Given these difficulties it was felt beneficial to involve the support of terminology experts in clinical model- ing activities.

Terminologies. The whole sphere of language used in the health system. It includes both Clinical Terminology and Classifications and their components. A standard clinical terminology enables the clinical descriptions used in clinical communications to be accurately recorded and consistently interpreted. A common terminology gives healthcare providers a high level of confidence in the information that they record, send and retrieve, ensuring continuity of care for patients across different times, settings and care providers. Clinical Terminology is a structured vocabulary used in clinical practice to accurately describe the care and treatment of patients. Clinical Terminology covers complex concepts such as diseases, operations, treatments and medicines. Examples of Clinical Terminologies include SNOMED-CT, and the AMT (Australian Medicine Terminology).
