The Omaha System exists in the public domain, is embedded within SNOMED-CT and is available through the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) (Martin, 2005). The Omaha System concepts represent all of health in four domains: environmental, psychosocial, physiological and health-related behaviors (Martin, 2005). An operational definition of whole-person health means understanding all of health across all Omaha System concepts and domains; inclusive of strengths (Problem Rating Scale for Outcomes Status scores), challenges (signs/symptoms of the 42 problem concepts) and needs (intervention category terms) (Martin, 2005; Austin, 2018). It may be used to operationalize many theoretical concepts, including resilience; i.e., the number of strengths for problem concepts having a Status score of 4 [minimal signs/symptoms (‘good')] or a 5 [no signs/symptoms (‘very good”')] (Austin et al., 2021a; Monsen et al., 2021a).

The Omaha System is a taxonomy developed by nurse researchers that systematically and comprehensively captures the patient-clinician exchange. The Omaha System was originally developed in 1975 to quantify the professional practice of visiting nurses in Omaha, Nebraska (Martin, 2005; Topaz, Golfenshtein, & Bowles, 2014). In 1992, the American Nurses Association (2009) endorsed the Omaha System as a taxonomy to capture, support, and represent nursing practice. Healthcare clinicians have used the Omaha System in practices across the healthcare continuum, including community settings, clinics, and hospitals (Martin, 2005; Topaz et al., 2014). Widespread international adoption of the Omaha System, including Japan, China, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Netherlands, Czech Republic, and Turkey (Monsen & Martin, 2017), supports a common language for research and implementation of population-based health initiatives. The Omaha System provides standardized language for documenting problems, interventions, and outcomes.
