Abstract
Nursing care is a crucial part of health care, especially in our ageing society. Digitalization in this area is lacking when attempting to conduct a machine-readable, standardized, healthcare data exchange between different services.
To tackle this issue two standards, International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP) and Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine Clinical Terms (SNOMED CT), identified as highly relevant code systems in this sector via expert interviews, were analysed. A competency catalogue of 241 terms was then mapped to both of these systems, in some case extending them with new concepts and terms.
The results show that neither code system was able to translate many of the terms without extension, with ICMP covering 12,03% and SNOMED CT covering 26,14%. However, both systems can be extended, with SNOMED CT showing a better capability to support data exchange in nursing care.
