Abstract

This chapter explores nursing’s role in managing nursing information. It focuses on international efforts at identification of essential nursing data elements, development of minimum health data sets, and use of nursing information. Factors related to the role of the nurse in information management and obstacles to effective nursing management of information have been detailed elsewhere in this book as well as in other publications (Hannah and Anderson, 1994). The issues for all nurses relate to information and information management, and the salient issue is identification of nursing data elements that are essential for collection and storage in national health databases.
