Module 5-Decision Support: Nursing data

From learning about decision support systems (I researched Iliad), have found that in order for them to work properly, the correct data need to be entered into them. They are used in many cases by physicians or nurse practitioners, who are responsible for making vital decisions about patient care. Because the data are gathered and entered into electronic records by nurses, we have a great responsibility to enter quality data, so that accurate data can be entered into the systems, whatever they are. It is only with correct data that the decision support systems can actually help the care providers reach appropriate decisions.
