Using the Nursing Interventions Classification to implement Agency for Health Care Policy and Research guidelines

The mandate for establishing guidelines for assessing effectiveness has been given to the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR). This agency has published 10 practice guidelines for practitioners to use. The present task for practitioners is to establish how effectively use these guidelines. Nurse researchers at the University of Iowa have provided a practical standardized language of nursing interventions that will help nurses demonstrate and communicate current nursing practice. This Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) will allow nurses to implement the guidelines, demonstrate nursing input for patient care, and make nursing visible to consumers and other health care providers.
