One of the challenges in health care in Ireland is the relatively slow acceptance of standardised clinical information systems. Yet the national Irish health reform programme indicates that an Electronic Health Care Record (EHCR) will be implemented on a phased basis. [3-5]. While nursing has a key role in ensuring the quality and comparability of health information, the so- called 'invisibility' of some nursing activities makes this a challenging aim to achieve [3-5]. Any integrated health care system requires the adoption of uniform standards for electronic data exchange [1-2]. One of the pre-requisites for uniform standards is the composition of a data dictionary. Inadequate definition of data elements in a particular dataset hinders the development of an integrated data depository or electronic health care record (EHCR). This paper outlines how work on the data dictionary for the Irish Nursing Minimum Dataset (INMDS) has addressed this issue. Data set elements were devised on the basis of a large scale empirical research programme. ISO 18104, the reference terminology for nursing [6], was used to cross-map the data set elements with semantic domains, categories and links and data set items were dissected.

However, there remains a need to evaluate and validate whether the ICNP fulfills its initially intended functions and is sufficiently flexible and extensible to summarize high-level data while including lower-level details where appropriate. For example, Florin et al. 21 suggested the need for empirical studies evaluating the ICNP that covered the full complexity of nursing information.

All of the registered nurses who participated in this study received training on how to use the system in their daily tasks. The data for this research were extracted from a centralized EMR database that included the clinical data of 2,262 inpatients who had been admitted during 9 weeks between May and July 2003. The data used in the analysis were limited to the 580,000 data-input records entered from the interface of nurses' notes. In the first review of data quality, 49,782 redundant records that had been stored repeatedly during transfers between nursing units were deleted, and hence 530,218 records were used in the analysis.

The first level of the NDD tree reflects the nursing framework, and contains the following items: ADT (admission, discharge, and transfer), vital signs/measurements, pulmonary system, cardiology, genitourinary system, gastrointestinal system, skin, neurology, musculoskeletal system, medication, emergency, perisurgical, psychosocial, education, and other events. The design of the lower levels of the tree differed between the different nursing units, which enabled each unit to select its own preferred NDD subset and organize it within their tree structure so as to maximize the convenience of tree navigation. Also, the user interface provides additional capabilities such as keyword searching and the NDD list currently in use. This approach not only improves the ease of use, but also allows the NDD to be managed in a consistent manner.

Our use of bilingualism in the nursing documentation increased the number of phrases in the NDD, since some nurses prefer to use English words and others prefer to use Korean words in nursing records. Moreover, it is not uncommon for clinicians to use English and Korean words together in an expression. This situation resulted in us including semantically identical phrases more than once in the NDD even when they had the same mapping with the extended ICNP.

The use of the NDD tended to increase slightly over the course of the study, which suggests adaptation by the users. This increase stabilized during the last 3 weeks, with the three data-input options being used at constant proportions. The fact that 75% of the data input was carried out successfully using the NDD implies that the ICNP-based NDD is effective for capturing and storing nursing data in coded format, which also makes it possible to aggregate and analyze nursing data using the linkage among ICNP concepts. The results of the free-text analysis of cases of no use of the NDD demonstrated the need to improve the user interface in terms of providing more synonyms and abbreviations. Moreover, the users should be restricted to using synonyms and abbreviations that are both generally accepted by the wider community and authorized at the institution level. However, to optimize the coverage and expressiveness of the NDD, it is important to balance the implementation of standards (at a central level) with the freedom to use various expressions. Allowing more-detailed and less-common expressions requires that the NDD be extended, but this also increases the navigation complexity experienced by users.

It is important to determine how to apply the nursing vocabulary standard to fill practical needs. The nurse's note is the standard method used to capture nursing activities at the bedside as well as detailed nursing assessments of inpatients. Due to the traditional narrative format of nurses' notes, we chose the approach using the ICNP-based NDD. Our results demonstrated that the ICNP-based NDD could cover more than 75% of the nursing expressions in a real EMR system. Such an approach allows more aggregated-level data to be derived from the acquisition and analysis of low-level nursing data.
