“…Linkages provide possible choices, and thus facilitate clinical decision based on knowledge and each patient's unique condition (Johnson et al, 2011). Developing NNN linkages allows nurses to capture the patients' needs, care, and responses; supports clinical decisions and saves nursing documentation time (Arreguy-Sena et al, 2018;Ko & So, 2013;Lee et al, 2009;Park, 2010;Song, So, & An, 2014); helps define emerging problems compatible with nursing work performance; supports the process of clinical reasoning (Lee et al, 2009;Noh & Lee, 2015); identifies the indicators to evaluate the nursing interventions provided by the nursing team (Arreguy-Sena et al, 2018;Fahrenkrug, 2003;Lee et al, 2009;Noh & Lee, 2015;Park, 2010); integrates terminologies (de Lima Guimarães et al, 2017); establishes guidelines and bases for nursing care (de Lima Guimarães et al, 2017;dos Santos André & Regina Maria, 2014;Kim, 2010;Park, 2010;Yang et al, 2019); facilitates systematic research and education programs (de Lima Guimarães et al, 2017;Kim, 2010); refines the nursing classifications (dos Santos André & Regina Maria, 2014;Ko & So, 2013;Song et al, 2014); systematizes communication among health care professionals (Ko & So, 2013;Kim, 2005); and provides the basis for the computerization of the nursing care plan (Kim, 2010;Lee et al, 2009;Song et al, 2014). The data created though NNN linkages in EHRs, including outcomes measures, will provide evidence for examining the effectiveness of nursing care and for determining nursing costs, evaluating quality of care, assigning resources, and creating health policy (Fahrenkrug, 2003;Ko & So, 2013;…”
