: 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.
