The good news about nursing data systems
Article Abstract:
The American Nursing Association has published a book containing information about the data systems used in nursing. One problem was to decide whether nursing would use a uniform or a unified data set. The ANA's Database Committee voted on a unified set, which means that nurses can use different terms for the same condition. The National Library of Medicine is ensuring that all synonymous terms will be mapped to each other.

To your computer, the world will really end soon..
Article Abstract:
The year 2000 will either cause the failure of date dependent computer applications or cause them to make very big calculation errors. The problem is especially bad for mainframe-based systems since many of these are decades old, but even most newer systems are attached to older ones, making for even more complex investigative work. Nurse executives need to be aware of this problem.
