k: Documentation can be improved using informatics,
’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’
and when done properly, the time needed for document
’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’
ation would decrease. In addition, nursing informatics
’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’
will not only enhance practice but will also allow infor
’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’
mation to be available to researchers for building evid ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’
ence-
based nursing knowledge. It can remind users to provi
’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’
de data that might be forgotten. The data could be used
’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’
for both quality control and research.
