Big data can help prepare nurses and improve patient outcomes by improving quality, safety, and outcomes

Abstract

Objectives Big data has revolutionized nursing and health care and raised concerns. This research aims to help nurses understand big data sets to provide better patient care. Methods This study used big data in nursing to improve patient care. Big data in nursing has sparked a global revolution and raised concerns, but few studies have focused on helping nurses understand big data to provide the best patient care. This systematic review was conducted based on PRISMA guidelines. PubMed, MEDLINE, CINAHL, Google Scholar, and ResearchGate were used for 2010–2020 studies. Results The most common use of big data in nursing was investigated in eight papers between 2015 and 2018. All research showed improvements in patient outcomes and healthcare delivery when big data was used in the medical-surgical, emergency department, critical care unit, community, systems biology, and leadership applications. Big data is not taught to nurses. Conclusions Big data applications in nursing and health care improve early intervention and decision-making. Big data provides a comprehensive view of a patient’s status and social determinants of health, allowing treatment using all metaparadigms and avoiding a singular focus. Big data can help prepare nurses and improve patient outcomes by improving quality, safety, and outcomes.

European society for trauma and emergency surgery member-identified research priorities in emergency surgery: a roadmap for future clinical research opportunities

“…Data registries are essential for effective emergency surgery – not just emergency general surgery—collaborative research. The utility of large data sets in assessing the prevalence of specific conditions of interest, the penetrance of unique therapies, and real-world outcomes is highlighted by the interlinked approaches of data visualization and data science [ 66 – 68 ]. Therefore, the following priorities may be articulated: 1) development of a standardized data collection tool for acute surgical illness; 2) integration of data from multiple sources, including interoperable electronic health records, administrative databases, and patient-reported outcome registries; 3) establishment of a web-based platform for data collection, analysis, and dissemination using a common data dictionary [ 69 ].…”

Promising Prospects: Jordan’s Healthcare Achievements of the Past Decade

“…These changes aimed to improve the overall effectiveness of the healthcare system and bring it into compliance with international norms. To enhance service delivery and data management, Jordan has been steadily integrating digital technologies into its healthcare system, like many other countries [4,5].To raise the standard of care and draw in more foreign patients, many hospitals in Jordan gained international accreditation. Jordan's pharmaceutical industry has grown and now ranks among the top exporters in the region.…”
