Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) links outcomes to NANDA International nursing diagnoses. Such a rating system adds objectivity to judging a patient's progress. Using standardized nursing terminologies such as NOC makes it more possible to measure aspects of nursing care on a national and international level. The indicators for each NOC outcome allow measurement of the outcomes at any point on a 5-point Likert scale from most negative to most positive. This resource is an option you can use in selecting goals and outcomes (not interventions) for your patients. The Nursing Interventions Classification model includes three levels: domains, classes, and interventions for ease of use. The seven domains are the highest level (level 1) of the model, using broad terms (e.g., safety and basic physiological) to organize the more specific classes and interventions.
