Abstract

Nursing represents a significant and increasing proportion of healthcare budgets in European countries. Comparison of nursing practice across countries, regions and hospitals is difficult because of the diversity of computer-based representation schemes and the nature of nursing information. To address this problems the TELENURSE project will be promoting consensus around the emerging International Classification of Nursing Practice (ICNP). This paper describes how the GALEN (Generalised Architecture for Languages, Encyclopedias and Nomenclatures in Medicine) approach will be used as part of the TELENURSE project to develop a model of nursing terminology which refers both to ICNP and to national and local representation schemes. By facilitating cross referencing it is hoped that the GALEN approach will help overcome some of the current difficulties of comparing nursing practice.
