Notes on NDEC : Nursing Diagnosis Extension and Classification (NDEC) Report

This marks the beginning of a new column, Notes on NDEC. This column will appear in each issue to describe the work of the Nursing Diagnosis Extension and Classification (NDEC) research team. We hope you will read it carefully and send your responses to the principal investigator of NDEC, Martha Craft-Rosenberg, at the University of Iowa College of Nursing (martha-craft-rosm-berguicmn.edu) or to the Editor (jsimon6721@aol.com ). Your responses will facilitate an open dialogue on conceptual and methodological issues in nursing diagnosis.

This first column reports on the work completed by Spring 1998, the work in progress, and the work planned for the future. We are pleased to provide these Notes on NDEC. MCR.
