The usefulness of external data bases.
External data bases assist nurse managers in fulfilling their managerial roles. Through the combination of external data bases with internal data bases, such as those presented in chapter 4, the nurse manager can enjoy a comprehensive data base to sustain her or his managerial practice. Although external data bases may be less familiar, knowing that they exist and have clinical and managerial application is a significant starting point toward expanding the range of information available to the nurse manager.
