Health data is crucial in nursing for several reasons:
Clinical Decision-Making: Nurses use health data to make informed clinical decisions. Accurate and comprehensive data helps in diagnosing conditions, planning treatment, and evaluating outcomes. Patient Safety: Proper use of health data can prevent errors and ensure that patients receive safe and effective care. Continuity of Care: Health data ensures that there is a seamless transition of care between different healthcare providers, which is essential for patient continuity and holistic care.
