Answer 1

Information is important for health care..it has many different purposes..in industries of health care it increasing demands on information..it will assist more people.. standardization of nursing care documentations was difficult one to support managing health information..The American Nurses Association (ANA) in 1989 created a process to recognise languages, vocabularies and terminologies..it support the nursing practice,plans and guidelines..Nursing data which is unsharable and comparable will be an issue..

ANA recognised terminologies that support nursing practice and management for providing codes collection for a specific purpose..This standard terminologies from clinicians and nurses in patients data and documents will be helpful for implementing and supports high quality standards..It will be useful and helpful for EHRs,software developer and agencies..EHRs using Omaha system for implementing reports and customisation..This codes are useful to supplement CPT and HCPCS coding system on standard center's for Medicare and Medicaid services..It continue the ideal of universal access to affordable health care..Standardized terminology has relationship with financial reimbursement related to meaningful use for financial limitations and affordability..
