Assignment: Standardized Coding Systems
Assignment: Standardized Coding Systems ON Assignment: Standardized Coding
SystemsAs a result of the fragmented nature of the health care system, professionals in
various specialty areas of medicine have developed their own unique sets of terminology to
communicate within that specialty. In the past, limited attention has been given to codifying
practices in order for them to be understood and utilized across disciplines or through
different information technology systems. The implementation of a federally mandated
electronic medical records system, therefore, poses a challenge to nursing professionals and
others who must be prepared to utilize standardized codes for the new system. Why are
coding standards important for promoting consistent, high-quality care? Assignment:
Standardized Coding SystemsAccording to Rutherford (2008, para. 15), “Improved
communication with other nurses, health care professionals, and administrators of the
institution in which nurses work is a key benefit of using a standardized nursing language.”
In this Discussion you consider the reasoning behind and the value of standardized
codification. Assignment: Standardized Coding SystemsTo prepareReview the information
in Nursing Informatics: Scope and Standards of Practice. Determine which set of
terminologies are appropriate for your specialty or area of expertise.Reflect on the
importance of continuity in terminology and coding systems.In the article, “Standardized
Nursing Language: What Does It Mean for Nursing Practice?” the author recounts a visit to a
local hospital to view its implementation of a new coding system. One of the nurses
commented to her, “We document our care using standardized nursing languages but we
don’t fully understand why we do” (Rutherford, 2008, para. 1). Consider how you would
inform this nurse (and others like her) of the importance of standardized nursing
terminologies.Reflect on the value of using a standard language in nursing practice.
Consider if standardization can be limited to a specialty area or if one standard language is
needed across all nursing practice. Then, identify examples of standardization in your own
specialty or area of expertise. Conduct additional research using the Walden Library that s
your thoughts on standardization of nursing terminology.BY DAY 3Post an explanation of
why nurses need to document care using standardized nursing languages and whether this
standardization can be limited to specialty areas or if it should be across all nursing
practice. your response using specific examples from your own specialty or area of
expertise and using at least one additional resource from the Walden Library. Assignment:
