title: Nursing informatics implications from a study of unmet nursing care needs.
abstract: A number of issues related to data collection and analysis have impeded researchers from documenting a process of nursing care-outcome link. While health services research (HSR) continues to develop and test novel research methods to better understand the quality paradigm there has been steady progress in informatics research to represent, acquire, and store nursing data. The use of HSR methods may provide empirical and theoretical support for nursing informatics research. Moreover, large clinical datasets that include standardized nursing data provide an important basis for HSR.
