  • Omaha System
    The Omaha System is a research-based, comprehensive practice and documentation standardized taxonomy designed to describe client care. The Omaha System includes an assessment component (Problem Classification Scheme), a care plan/services component (Intervention Scheme), and an evaluation component (Problem Rating Scale for Outcomes). The Omaha system is embedded in PHDoc, Carefacts, and Champ, the 3 main electronic heath records used by PHNs in Local Public Health departments in MN. For agencies that use the Omaha System standardized language for assessment, interventions, and evaluation, the Omaha System Community of Practice offers a web site with a variety of introductory tutorials and videos. For case studies to use in the education of public health nursing students and PHNs on the Omaha System, scroll down the "Learning about the Omaha System" page to near the bottom under Education. There you will find tuberculosis and obesity examples that apply Omaha System language along with examples of Omaha System charting. Tutorials, quizzes, and related resources provide nurse educators and students with learning opportunities.
