Step One: The 433 interventions included in the second edition of NIC were rated in 1999 in response to a request from a user who was incorporating NIC into a coding/ reimbursement manual.1 Small groups of research team members rated selected interventions in their area of expertise on: (1) education needed for each intervention, and (2) time needed for each intervention. Rating group members referred to the NIC second edition⁴ for intervention definitions and activities. Each group of raters returned their work to the principal investigators who, with two other members of the research team, reviewed all the ratings for all interventions for overall consistency.

Step Two: In Fall 2000, ratings were done using the same methodology for the 53 interventions new to the third edition of NIC published in 2000.⁵ Changes in interventions from the second to third edition were also examined for their impact on the ratings. Following this, all 486 intervention ratings were reviewed together and a few of these modified to be consistent with others in the same class. This information was published in a monograph entitled, “Estimated Time and Educational Requirements to Perform 486 Nursing Interventions,”² produced by the Center for Nursing Classification and Clinical Effectiveness at the College of Nursing, The University of Iowa. Portions of the monograph were published in Nursing Economic$ (“Determining Cost of Nursing Interventions: A Beginning”).³

Step Three and Ongoing: Since 2002, for each of the new editions of the classification, we estimated the time and education for each of the new interventions using the same criteria.

Education needed is defined as the minimal educational level necessary to perform the intervention in most cases in most states, and rated as: (1) nursing assistant/LPN/LVN/technician; (2) RN (basic education, whether baccalaureate, AD, or diploma); or (3) RN with post-basic education or certification. Post-basic education is defined as specialized education or training beyond the RN basic education, including a master’s degree with or without certification or short course leading to certificate or certification. These categories were arrived at after thorough discussion. They were chosen over other possibilities because it was felt that the categories allow raters to discriminate among them but are not so fine that raters could not be consistent. The basic types of RN preparation were grouped in one category because this reflects the reality of the practice situation that does not usually differentiate job responsibilities by educational preparation of the RN.

Time needed is defined as the average time needed to perform the intervention. This is an average time that can be used to determine reimbursement rates, long enough that the intervention can be done but not so long that it would price the intervention unreasonably high for insurance or client payment. Time estimates are grouped into five categories: (1) 15 minutes or less; (2) 16 to 30 minutes; (3) 31 to 45 minutes; (4) 46 to 60 minutes; and (5) more than 1 hour.

It is emphasized that the estimates are based on judgments of those who are familiar with the intervention and the specialty practice area. The ratings included here may differ by practice facility and provider. The estimates provide a starting point for estimating time required, level of provider needed, and cost of nursing care.
