A Nursing Process-Clinical Decision Support System (NP-CDSS) Standard with 25 criteria to guide future developments of Nursing Process-Clinical Decision Support Systems was developed.

All experts judged the Advanced Nursing Process being the centerpiece for Nursing Process-Clinical Decision Support System that should suggest research-based, pre-defined nursing diagnoses and correct linkages between diagnoses, evidence-based interventions and patient outcomes.
