Data collection in nursing can be performed through various means:
Electronic Health Records (EHRs): EHRs store comprehensive patient information including medical history, treatments, and outcomes. Patient Monitoring Systems: Devices that monitor vital signs and other physiological parameters continuously collect valuable data. Surveys and Questionnaires: Patient and staff feedback can be gathered through structured surveys to assess satisfaction and identify areas for improvement. Administrative Data: Information regarding staffing, scheduling, and resource utilization is also collected for operational analysis.
