Abstract All of those who are engaged in the International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP®) project are aware of the mistakes still being found in its classification. However, these are not recognized as faults, but rather as a challenge for better work and continuous efforts on its improvement. This article discusses proposed changes to the structure of the ICNP®, according to the rules of building such ‘tools’, as well as new axes that can be added to make the classification beneficial across a broader spectrum of applications, not solely in electronic patient record‐keeping and statistics.
