A giant
has passed November 24, 2021 -- With great sadness we acknowledge the passing of a giant of nursing informatics. Dr. Virginia Saba was a true visionary. "...Researcher, developer, and matriarch of the Clinical Care Classification system" (In Memoriam: Dr. Virginia Saba). She invented CCC, the best of the coding schemes for nursing data. I have met her, discussed this, and blogged about it and about her and again here. Here is her autograph. Go informatics nurses! Go Virginia and your disciples! |

"The United States alone [among wealthy countries] treats health care as a commodity to be distributed according to the ability to pay rather than a social service to be distributed according to medical need." — JAMA (2003), 290, 798
