title: Databook: monitoring a critical care unit.
abstract: DataBook is a computer application developed to assist the nurse manager in collecting, assessing and monitoring unit data on a day-to-day and summary basis. Once captured, this information can then be presented to create "information snapshots" of unit characteristics. Utilizing a PC-based spreadsheet program, the application is designed to be used by individuals with a modest degree of computer literacy.
