title: Organizational liability prevention: automated profiles.
abstract: The key to successful nursing management is maintenance of efficient records and productive operations. Only through automating educational profiles for competency and licensure renewal can nursing administration provide instantaneous information to maintain professional accountability within hospital standards for reduction of organizational risk. Storing legal staff profiles for nursing operations assures real-time capture and access of current professional information. This facilitates systematic management of resources and enhances quality of patient care. Also, ability to retrieve historical staff credentials which have been integrated with administrative hospital information allows for performance review of the whole organization for use in strategic planning.
