title: Use of metadata registry for nursing: A customer-centered electronic health record.
abstract: An online metadata registry promotes cross-system and cross-organization descriptions of common units of health data. Nurses must have a method to share health information and transmit nursing data. Health information sharing through an online metadata registry allows nurses, health administrators, and hospital systems to make significant strides towards improving customer-centered electronic health records, patient safety, reducing errors, lowering healthcare costs, and strengthening public health and disaster preparedness initiatives.
