Feedback Analysis Difficulty: Moderate Integrated Process:
: Teaching/Learning Objective: 5 Page and Header: 14,
Benefits to the Nursing Profession Feedback:
Documentation can be improved using informatics,
and when done properly, the time needed for
documentation would decrease. In addition, nursing
informatics will not only enhance practice but will also
allow information to be available to researchers for
building evidence-based nursing knowledge. It can
remind users to provide data that might be forgotten.
The data could be used for both quality control and
research.

For Healthcare in General Feedback: Although
informatics saves time and money and allows patterns
