Assessing and selecting data for a nursing services dashboard.
Nurse leaders are held accountable for staffing decisions and quality outcomes, sometimes without proper decision support tools. A nursing services dashboard can provide information to guide staffing decisions for positive outcomes. The authors examine the sources, attributes, and uses of administrative data to assist nurse leaders to make informed decisions in selecting data for inclusion in their nursing services dashboard.
