The initial systems for gathering minimum uniform health data can be traced back to systems devised by Florence Nightingale over a century ago (Verney 1970). Nightingale (1859) asserted the need for nurses to use their powers of memory and nonsubjective observation to track the condition of those in their care. Subsequently (Nightingale 1863), she provided forms and definitions for the collection of uniform hospital statistics. In conclusion, she wrote (Nightingale 1863):
