Abstract "Data Makes the Difference: The Smart Nurse's Handbook for Using Data to Improve Care helps RNs like you understand how to use accurate and meaningful quality and safety data in your practice. It demystifies data and counters the negative, incorrect perception that nurses can't use it to drive patient care. It also empowers you to become confident and comfortable in using quality and safety data to demonstrate the contributions of nurses to patient-centered outcomes."--Publisher website.
