Nursing Knowledge: Big Data Research for Transforming Healthcare

University of Minnesota School of Nursing

Nurses Call to ActionNursing information is not captured in ways that make it sharable and comparable – essential for “big data” for quality improvement and research to improve patient safety outcomes

Nursing has a long history of informatics development, but implementation lags

Primary Goal is…..To guide consistent documentation and data collection to support big data research for transforming healthcare

Created an Action Plan for:Prepare nurses to meet informatics

competencies

Integrating nursing information into health and healthcare knowledge systems

Optimizing nursing language and healthcare information

Creating a clinical data warehouse to use EHR data to Influence policy

Advancing the Vision of a Transformed Health System

Informatics and health IT have the potential to reshape the healthcare delivery system, transitioning to:

A more coordinated structure

Make information easily and safely shared among patients, consumers and providers

Enable improved outcomes, quality of care and lower costs

To Reach this VisionAll providers, health systems, hospitals, patients

and consumers must have access to real-time, accurate and actionable health information
