Critical evaluation[edit]

All the information in the current Omaha System Wikipedia page on the Omaha System is correct, however the page would provide more value if more information was included. Information regarding if any associations recognize the Omaha System as their standardized supporting system. If any associations have any membership to the Omaha System, as well as information on whether the system is multilingual. Would provide readers with a greater depth and understanding about the Omaha System and its use. Information regarding who the system can be used by (physiotherapists,doctors etc) and how often the system is updated to reflect changes in practice would also provide greater education for readers and possible buyers. I am a current La Trobe University student who is completing a critical evaluation of the Omaha Systems Wikipedia page. Caillin Austin (talk) 07:33, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment[edit]

Welcome to the Omaha System talk page. according to Wikipedia, "The purpose of a Wikipedia talk page (accessible via the discussion tab) is to provide space for editors to discuss changes to its associated article or project page. Article talk pages should not be used by editors as platforms for their personal views on a subject. The prime values of the talk page are communication, courtesy and consideration." I look forward to using this communication venue to improve the Omaha System wiki stub.Mons0122 (talk) 20:22, 15 February 2010 (UTC)Karen Monsen[reply]

Wikify[edit]

A {{Wikify}} template was added to this page, requesting that it be formatted according to Wikipedia's preferred style. Another user removed that tag but it does not appear that the style was substantially improved. Please help "Wikify" this article by adding internal links, removing external links to a special section, formatting references as either parenthetical references or (better yet) footnotes, etc. More information is available at Wikipedia:Manual of Style.

Comments from Lakshmi[edit]

This article is well written with good introductory lines about the Omaha system. It has obeyed the Wikipedia style and formatting guidelines in respect to bold title headings, linking technical terms to Wikipedia articles.
The article has several important references such as UMLS, CINAHL and LOINC.

Suggestion

I would recommend adding links to various external articles where relevant for quick referencing.

Review for IHC[edit]

Review for Health Informatics

The article presents with a clear and concise definition of the Omaha System.
A positive of the article is within the articles second paragraph, specifically, the way in which the System is used to improve and provide healthcare is informative.
Has made good use of inter-wiki links to various countries that Omaha System users are from, along with other health informatics related pages.

Suggestion

Possibly provide a few brief sentences on the creation of the Omaha System.
An example of the format of the Omaha System.
How it differs in different countries. (if applicable)

Comments from Productbox[edit]

I am a layman with respect to Health Care and I visited the page with a view to quickly getting an idea of what the system is. The first paragraph is good and gives me the impression that Omaha is a well established, well respected thing. However the second paragraph was full of jargon and left me wondering what Omaha actually *IS*. Some examples would REALLY help. I'd also like to see a section on Benefits, i.e. why would you want to use this system. By the way, the word "System" could also do with some clarification. I read the article the first time under the impression that it was a computer system. It took a while for that penny to drop.

I hope that doesn't sound too critical. Its a good article and comes across as authoritative.
