The data used for measuring and safety purposes actually comes directly from the information on patient care that is documented daily? Data Makes the Difference helps RNs understand how to use accurate and meaningful quality and safety data in their practice. It demystifies data and counters the negative, incorrect perception that nurses can’t use data to drive patient care. It also empowers nurses to become confident and comfortable in using quality and safety data to demonstrate the contributions of nurses to patient-centred outcomes.

After reading Data Makes the Difference, nurses you will be able to:

• Comprehend quality data and quality measurements.
• Utilize data to inform patient care and track outcomes.
• Understand the future directions in the use of quality data: EHRs, telehealth and eMeasures.
• Know how nurses lead through data use and interpretation.
