Organizations around the world (20+ countries!) have recognized the benefits of the CCC. Not only is it free to use, but it tracks more than just the nursing diagnosis. It also tracks nursing actions, expected outcomes, and the actual outcome. All in one code! The CCC has also been translated into ten languages. We are currently working on developing a comprehensive list of implementations, to have your health organization listed, please fill out this form.
