Scope/domain statement for the code system (Official or from HTA) | The Omaha System is a comprehensive practice and documentation tool used by nurses, other healthcare providers, and students from the time of client admission to discharge in the home health setting. The system includes 1) a Problem Classification Scheme used during assessment; 2) an Intervention Scheme; and 3) a Problem Rating Scale for Outcomes. These components provide a structure for documenting client needs and strengths, relating clinician interventions, and measuring client outcomes in a simple, yet comprehensive, manner. When the three components are used together, the Omaha System offers a way to link clinical data to demographic, financial, administrative, and staffing data. The most recent publication of Omaha System is 2005 and a new version is currently being drafted. |
