The development of information systems increased the opportunity to acquire standardized data sets, which enable descriptions and comparisons of patient care and discovery of nursing knowledge to enhance decision making. From an administrative perspective, such data analytics could evaluate nursing services effectiveness for cost and quality. Administrators are expected to quantify the value of provided services within the context of care. However, standardized nursing administrative and management data are needed to support analysis and understanding of nursing management within and across care settings. The NMMDS is a standardized data set to support management analytics.
