This study developed a nursing process database based on the object-oriented database model for the
development of the nursing process computerization program.
The database coded the data of the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (NANDA)
2015-2017, Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) 5th edition and Nursing Interventions Classification
(NIC) 6th edition, and it produced the appropriate entities based on the class diagram to design data
structure in an object-oriented perspective. The nursing process database is composed of classification
systems, patient information and nursing process, user information entities, and it has the separate structure
that all of the information is dependent on user and patient information entity. That is, the database
developed can integrate and develop the computerized program without a separate process by resetting only
the relationship between the core entities. In order to take advantage of these object-oriented database
model, this study developed a part of the nursing process education program by using the Java
programming language, Java Swing, JDBC Connector. The further studies are scheduled to develop the
complete program which includes standard protocol transfer function for the standardization of nursing
practice, the interoperability between other information systems, and the nursing process macro function.
