The term  PROSES KEPERAWATAN was first used/mentioned by Lydia Hall, a nursing theorist, in 1955 wherein she introduced 3 STEPs: observation, administration of care and validation.
Since then,  Proses Keperawatan continue to evolve: 
it used to be a 3-step process, 
then a 4-step process (APIE), 
then a 5-step (ADPIE), 
now a 6-step process (ADOPIE) ASSESSMENT, DIAGNOSIS, OUTCOME IDENTIFICATION, PLANNING, IMPLEMENTATION and EVALUATION.

thereby promoting client satisfaction and progress.
Effective – in planning care, utilized resources wisely (staff, time, money/cost)
