Nursing departments face increasing data management challenges.
Current computer use in nursing primarily focuses on clinical applications.
Manual information processing is becoming inefficient for modern nursing management.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate existing computer applications in nursing management.
To advocate for the adoption of comprehensive management information systems.
To define the nurse administrator's role in implementing automatic data processing (ADP).

Main Methods:

Literature review of published nursing management computer applications.
Analysis of the evolution from administrative to management information systems.
Conceptual framework for nurse administrator involvement in ADP planning.

Main Results:

Published applications often remain administrative rather than true management information systems.
A significant gap exists between clinical computerization and management system implementation.
Nurse administrators are crucial for planning and executing ADP systems.

Conclusions:

Nursing management requires a shift towards sophisticated information systems.
Nurse administrators must lead the transition to automated data processing.
Effective implementation of ADP systems is vital for efficient nursing department management.
