The 4th edition features 385 NOC outcomes which are grouped into thirty-one classes and seven domains for ease of use. Each outcome has a definition, a list of indicators that can be used to evaluate patient status in relation to the outcome, a target outcome rating, a five-point Likert scale(s) to measure patient status, and a list of references. NOC is being adopted in a number of clinical sites for the evaluation of nursing practice and is being used in educational settings to structure curricula and teach students clinical evaluation.
