Talk:Clinical Care Classification System

I have suggested a minor editing change (see below) to support the important concept of the 'essence of nursing care'. 'The CCC, capturing the essence of patient care, consists of two interrelated terminologies - the CCC of Nursing Diagnoses and Outcomes and the CCC of Nursing Interventions and Actions - classified by 21 Care Components that link the two together and enables mapping to other health-related classification systems.'

Some Supplementary about the CCC

I suggest adding some history of CCC, to help understanding the formation of CCC. The concept of CCC didn't jump into the CCC we known today.

According to the http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1560509/ The CCC, previously the Home Health Care Classification (HHCC), was originally created to document nursing care in home health and ambulatory care settings 6. Specifically designed for clinical information systems, the CCC facilitates nursing documentation at the point-of-care.The CCC was developed empirically through the examination of approximately 40,000 textual phrases representing nursing diagnoses/patient problems and 72,000 phrases depicting patient care services and/or actions. The use of the CCC has expanded into other settings in addition to home health care and it is claimed to be appropriate for multidisciplinary documentation.

And I verified some sources,some links are no longer exsited.
