Nursing is a crucial component of our healthcare system, and yet, unlike the services provided by doctors, the care given to patients by our nurses remains largely undocumented in a measurable format. Because of the lack of available data, nursing is rarely considered by the government when changes are made to our healthcare system, and as a consequence nursing continues to suffer the most severe budget cuts and lack of support. All of which greatly affect the care patients receive and damages our overall healthcare system. To address this oversight and counter the growing frustration in the nursing community, Virginia Saba created a PMRI compatible coding system that fully documents the specifics and impact of nursing in a singular terminology. The Clinical Care Classification (CCC) system can be used regardless of health care setting and covers Nursing Diagnoses and Outcomes as well as Nursing Interventions and Action Types. This manual brings together the CCC terminology that was previously only available on Dr. Saba's website with background on its development and instructions on how best to code and apply the terminology. The CCC is the only system of its kind devoted to streamlining and classifying nursing and its impact in medicine. It is already changing the way nursing is viewed in the medical community and with this manual it is another step closer to bringing nurses the recognition they deserve as integral members of patient care.

From the Back Cover:

Designated a Doody's Core Title!

The Preeminent Nursing Terminology Classification System

""The Clinical Care Classification (CCC) System described in this manual is the only standard coded nursing terminology that is based on sound research using the nursing process model framework and that meets the Patient Medical Record Information (PMRI) comparability requirement. The CCC System allows patient care data generated by nurses to be incorporated into the PMRI database, and enables nurses' contributions to patient outcomes to be studied and acknowledged.""
-- From the Foreword by Sheryl L. Taylor, BSN, RN, Senior Consultant, Farrell Associates

TESTIMONIES:

""ABC Coding Solutions-Alternative Link developed ABC codes for nursing in collaboration with Dr. Virginia Saba, developer of the CCC system. Approximately two hundred ABC codes were developed from the CCC System of Nursing Interventions to accurately document nursing and integrative health care processes, classify and track clinical care, and develop evidence-based practice models, thus filling significant gaps in older medical code sets.""
--Connie Koshewa, Practitioner Relations Director, ABC Coding Solutions-Alternative Link

""The International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP?) is a program of the International Council of Nurses (ICN). One of the first steps in the development of the ICNP? was to collect and compare all the nursing concepts in existing nursing terminologies, including the CCC. To facilitate the goal of ICNP? as a unified nursing language system, a project is under way to map the CCC to the ICNP? Version 1.0. This work will facilitate evaluation and ongoing development of both terminologies and allow ICN to compare data using CCC codes with data from other standard nursing terminologies.""
