本文描述了一个不断发展的分类系统，用于理解护理工作的性质，护理干预分类（NIC）在爱荷华大学开发。我们描述了在最大化系统的三个维度中固有的平衡行为：可比性、控制性和可见性。作为分类、基础设施、工作和知识之间关系的一系列研究的一部分，我们将NIC与其他分类系统（如国际疾病分类（ICD））及其在组织协调中的作用联系起来。我们分析了不断发展的基础设施的一些特征，以及它对组织和实践的潜在影响。
This paper describes an evolving classification system for understanding the nature of nursing work, the Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) developed at the University of Iowa. We describe the balancing act inherent in maximizing three dimensions of the system: comparability, control and visibility. As part of a series of studies on the relationship between classification, infrastructure, work and knowledge, we link NIC with other classification systems such as the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) and its role in organizational coordination. We analyze some of the features of evolving infrastructure, and its potential impact on organizations and practice.
