| Summary: | We have a problem. Somehow, along the way, we lost track of what the nursing process is supposed to represent. Organizations produce documentation (often lots of paper or many computer screens of data) incorporating nursing assessment, diagnoses/patient problems, interventions and outcomes which meet the requirements of accrediting organizations and regulatory bodies.

It is a requirement that seems to be without benefit or purpose to many in practice.
