Abstract
The purpose of this study, of a theoretical nature, was to analyze and discuss a possible binary code for the Nursing system, in the sense of identifying its own knowledge from the perspective of Niklas Luhmann's theoretical presuppositions. To bet on functionally differentiated and socially relevant communication for the nursing system implies transcending the traditional health-disease code, predominant in the health system, whose socially relevant communication is the disease. Furthermore, it implies in investing proactively in the promotion and protection of healthy living of individuals, families and communities, so that health will be the central point of discussions and interventions.
