"Navigating Without a Compass: Addressing the Data Gap in Nursing Workflows"

Session Presented by Dimensional Insight

Webinar date: May 6, 2025
Webinar time: 12pm EST

Today's healthcare landscape presents nurses with unprecedented challenges—staffing shortages, operational inefficiencies, and complex digital systems that often create additional burdens rather than relief. While technology solutions exist, the critical missing piece is meaningful access to documentation and compliance data that can drive informed decision-making. Join premier sponsor Dimensional Insight for an expert panel discussion exploring proven strategies for implementing technology and nursing best practices that not only support clinical staff but also unlocks valuable insights from existing data. Discover how thoughtful solutions with robust data accessibility and nursing engagement can enhance operational efficiency, provide real-time visibility into documentation compliance, reduce administrative burden, empower nurses with actionable information, and ultimately improve patient outcomes. 

Learning Objectives:  

• Identify how data gaps impact nursing documentation compliance and decision-making processes  

• Explain strategies for implementing technology solutions that reduce administrative burden rather than adding to it  

• Outline methods to improve real-time visibility into documentation compliance metrics  

• Discuss the relationship between improved data accessibility and optimal patient outcomes  

• Identify evidence-based nursing documentation practices that enhance quality of care while maintaining efficiency 

• Describe strategies for prioritizing nursing workflows during staffing shortages without compromising patient safety
