Nurses collect volumes of patient data every day, but how can nurse leaders use that data to enhance experiences for patients and staff? The HIMSS Data Literacy for Nurse Leaders Toolkit offers a practical framework for starting with the desired outcomes, asking the right questions and collaborating with data analysts and informatics teams. Join the HIMSS Nursing Informatics Committee’s Dr. Michelle Hamland and Meagan Mangus for this second episode of “Data Literacy for Nurse Leaders” as they talk about how the toolkit enables nurse leaders to align teams around shared goals and advocate for resources, staffing and quality improvement.
Learn strategies for:
- Connecting data to the patient or operational outcomes you want to improve
- Using the data you have more effectively to avoid burdening staff with more documentation
- Driving improvements at both the department and executive level
