- Abstract
PURPOSE: To establish technical values for nursing diagnoses in primary healthcare with which to weight the delivery of care based on criteria of complexity and relevance. METHODS: A three‐phase cross‐sectional descriptive study: (1) establishing and weighting of the assessment criteria of technical values, (2) scoring of the assessment criteria per diagnosis, and (3) assigning technical values. FINDINGS: Diagnoses were ordered on the scoring scale obtained and a technical value of 1 to 4 was assigned according to their quartile. CONCLUSIONS: Having a technical value for each nursing diagnosis helps to measure the diversity and complexity of care. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: Technical values may contribute to improving nursing management indicators, as they incorporate a quantitative view into the assessment process.
