You are part of a team that is evaluating the feasibility of building a standardized nursing language into the electronic medical record that will be used by your department. Your group is reviewing the 12 ANA recognized terminologies. The goal is to make recommendations about one or more terminologies that could be built into EMR for use by nurses. Choose one of the 12 ANA recognized terminologies to evaluate (read materials for this unit and visit the website of the sponsoring organization) and answer the following questions:

Which ANA recognized terminology did you evaluate?

What additional information about the terminology did you learn when you visited the sponsoring organization's website?

What would your recommendations be about implementation of the terminology you evaluated into the EMR?

If you did use this standardized terminology in nursing, what would you need to do to prepare staff to think about nursing care and document differently?
