Standardized Nursing Language/ (PCDS) Patient Care Data Set


(PCDS) Patient Care Data Set

Throughout history, nurses have documented nursing care using various methods. Consequently, there is a wide range of terms that describe the same care (McCartney, 2011). As a result, a standardized nursing language have been developed decades ago to be used as a common language, understood by all nurses and describe nursing care (Rutherford, 2008). Standardized nursing language led to positive changes in the nursing world. Nurses from different units, hospitals, or all around the globe can use commonly understood terminology to identify specific problems, intervention and outcomes (O'Connor, Hameister & Kershaw, 2000). Moreover, there are thirteen terminology sets that had been approved by the American Nurses Association (ANA). One of these sets is PCDS, which is retired. (PCDS) stands for patient care data set, was developed by Judy Ozbolt along with members of the health system at the University of Virginia in 1992. After that, Vanderbilt University medical center tested PCDS for validity and reliability (Ozbolt, Fruchtnicht & Hayden, 1994). The patient care data set is a combination of terminologies that represent patient problems, care goals, goal achievement status, and patient care orders. In addition, the data set contains nursing diagnosis from NANDA, patient care activities and nursing outcomes (Ozbolt, Fruchtnicht & Hayden, 1994). However, PCDS is not a classification systems; it mainly serves as a set of terms to be used in hospital’s acute care settings to capture and represent data in the patient care information system. Further, PCDS terms are organized into twenty-two components, and each component contains three axes. These axes are problems, goals, and orders (Ozbolt, Fruchtnicht & Hayden, 1994). PCDS is used by nurses and other health care providers, including physicians and health care workers in acute care settings to plan patient care and document clinical events (Ozbolt, Fruchtnicht & Hayden, 1994).
