Nursing data gaps exist in health systems. The development of a Nursing Minimum Data Set (NMDS) in the US addresses these gaps, with Canada exploring similar initiatives to improve nursing care quality and cost-efficiency.

Area of Science:

Health Informatics
Nursing Administration

Background:

Existing hospital and health care minimum data sets in the US, UK, and Canada exhibit significant nursing data gaps.
Nurses in the United States have developed a Nursing Minimum Data Set (NMDS) to address these deficiencies.

Purpose of the Study:

To review nursing data gaps in international health data sets.
To highlight the development and implications of the Nursing Minimum Data Set (NMDS).

Main Methods:

A selected review of existing hospital and health care minimum data sets from the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada.
Analysis of the components and applications of the Nursing Minimum Data Set (NMDS).

Main Results:

Identified critical nursing data gaps in current health information systems.

The NMDS standardizes essential nursing data: diagnosis, intervention, outcome, and intensity of care.

Canada is considering NMDS development, driven by the need for cost containment and quality care maintenance.

Conclusions:

The NMDS has significant implications for nursing practice, including costing, resource allocation, defining contributions, and professional development.
While Canada shows awareness for nursing data collection, essential data elements for a national system are yet to be defined.
