The improvement of population health is enhanced by the inclusion of holistic integrative nursing guidelines for best practices. The guidelines are a valuable resource for practitioners of integrative therapies who wish to use an evidenced-based Omaha System care plan for clinical support and documentation. The interventions in the care plan are encoded from content in Integrative Nursing (Kreitzer & Koithan, 2014). Problems identified by Omaha System experts were based on the interventions from the symptom management chapters of Integrative Nursing. The symptoms include stress, nausea, anxiety, fatigue, and pain. The interventions are intended to be non-overlapping across problems, and to build a comprehensive, holistic plan of care for those problems amenable to integrative therapies. The metadata for this guideline is published on the Omaha System Guidelines website and includes standardized care plans, including description, date of original guideline, names of individuals and organizations contributing to the guideline and references. The guideline is encoded using the Omaha System-SNOMED CT mapping document to promote seamless integration with other Omaha System evidenced-based standardized care plans. Data generated by this guideline can be compared across settings, populations, disciplines, and jurisdictions. The guideline is being validated by experts and clinicians who utilize integrative therapies and the Omaha System. This presentation (or poster) will discuss the method for validating the guideline and preliminary findings will be presented.
