NANDA-I PLUS
NANDA-I PLUS represents a new nursing terminology as a database: a content mapping of the nursing terminologies ENP and NANDA International. The ENP nursing terminology and classification system provides you with detailed practice guidelines consisting of the ENP nursing diagnosis, the associated characteristics, etiologies, resources, nursing outcomes and finally the nursing measures (interventions). The well-known NANDA-I structure is characterized by: established nursing diagnoses with the associated defining characteristics, related factors/risk factors and categories of associated conditions and at risk populations. However, outcomes and interventions are not specified, which is why combining both nursing terminologies into NANDA-I PLUS offers decisive added value for your work.
NANDA-I PLUS provides you with detailed guiding interventions and measurable outcomes. Without the PLUS, all subsequent steps in the nursing planning and documentation would have to be entered manually and as free text, which can lead to misunderstandings or missing information. The rather abstract NANDA-I diagnoses are made more concrete by the finely granular ENP interventions and outcomes. The NANDA-I PLUS database also contains scientifically determined, normative minute values at the level of detailed interventions, which are included in the database delivery!
Why Should You Use Nursing Terminology?
The core competencies and fundamentals of the nursing process and nursing diagnosis are not only an important part of generalist nursing training, but also have a high priority in the nursing work environment. In this way, nursing terminology supports a targeted workflow and nursing history. In addition, the results of the nursing process are documented in the nursing care plan using nursing terminology, thereby organizing the work of the nursing team.
Benefits of a standardized and authoritative nursing terminology
Rely on:
- Uniform nursing terminology and identical wording standards
- Creation of a meaningful data basis
- Process optimization through data integration
- Electronic data analysis, e.g. for outcome measurements
- Knowledge transfer at the point-of-care
- Multilingualism (German, French, Italian)
Eliminate:
- Recourse claims
- Significant variations in the quality of nursing documentation
- Time-consuming nursing process documentation
- Lack of nursing planning
- Inefficiency due to duplicate documentation
- Insufficient data basis
- Quality deficits & high risk of errors
- Incomplete documentation
Integration
Are you interested in integrating NANDA-I as a database with or without time values into your HIS/IT infrastructure? Depending on which HIS your institution uses, either interfaces for integration via one of our software partners are already available, or we will examine how smooth integration can be achieved.

FAQ
NANDA-I PLUS contains the complete catalog of the NANDA-I classification with all nursing diagnoses from the respective NANDA-I version. In order to map the entire six-step nursing process using standardized nursing terminology or digitally as a database, NANDA-I PLUS allows you to seamlessly use nursing outcomes and nursing interventions from the ENP classification. The basis for this is a scientific mapping of the two nursing classifications.
In addition to the book edition of NANDA-I PLUS, NANDA-I PLUS is also available as a database in SQL format or as CSV files for practical use in outpatient/mobile care, nursing homes, or hospitals.
Thieme RECOM offers NANDA-I PLUS in German, French and Italian.
The use of standardized nursing terminology (classification) for nursing documentation (planned and performed nursing care) serves to ensure patient safety and the quality of the nursing care provided when nursing diagnoses have been selected for an individual patient following a diagnostic decision-making process. When nursing diagnoses are used in an electronic health record (EHR), the administrative effort required for documentation can be significantly reduced. Benefit: you no longer have to rack your brains over the right wording, and unnecessary errors are reduced. The pre-written, scientifically based text elements ensure clear communication between everyone involved in the nursing process and prevent ambiguities and misunderstandings. Exciting side effect: documentation using standardized nursing terminology also generates high-quality, analyzable data.
NANDA-I, or NANDA International, is a membership-based organization whose goal is to develop and periodically publish a standardized terminology based on evidence-based nursing diagnoses. The main work, “NANDA-I Nursing Diagnoses,” published every three years, covers the current state of development of nursing diagnoses according to NANDA-I. New diagnoses can be submitted by any member and refined in collaboration with the NANDA-I Diagnosis Development Committee until they are ready for publication.
The members of NANDA-I now come from all over the world and are organized into many country-specific network groups, which is why the organization changed its name to NANDA International in 2002. (The former name referred to the acronym “North American Nursing Diagnosis Association” and is no longer used.)
The NANDA-I nursing diagnoses are translated into over 20 languages in each publication cycle and are therefore distributed worldwide.
