title: Computer applications for nursing staff education departments.
abstract: The computer has many applications for the management of a staff education department. One essential application is the recording and monitoring of the nursing staff's educational activities. Other pertinent activities may include the preparation of budget and department activities statistics reports. However, the array of computer software programs that is available for the management of data and administrative functions can be intimidating. By networking with users whose computer applications needs are similar to your own, and by communicating with members of your computer services department, the list of applications can be refined to a few software programs. These programs can provide efficiency and accuracy for monitoring and reporting on nursing staff education activities.
