Data science for nurses.
This “Practice Matters” article discusses how nurses can apply data science methods to improve nurses’ insight into care delivery. Data science in nursing is defined and the data science process is described in five steps: capture, maintain, process, analyze, and communicate. A table is included which highlights several recently published studies that leveraged data science methods in nursing-relevant projects. The article ends with a call to action.

Improving provisioning of an inpatient portal: perspectives from nursing staff.
This study’s aim was to identify and describe practices important for provisioning an inpatient portal from the perspectives of nursing staff and provide insight to enable hospitals to address challenges related to provisioning workflow for the inpatient portal accessible on a tablet. Qualitative interviews were conducted at 26 inpatient units in six hospitals within The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center (OSUWMC) with 210 nursing staff members following the introduction of tablets providing access to an inpatient portal, MyChart Bedside (MCB). Provisioning rates were divided into tertiles to create three levels of provisioning performance. Higher-performing units showed three critical strategies that contributed to MCB tablet provisioning success: (1) establishing a feasible process for MCB provisioning; (2) having persistent unit-level MCB tablet champions; and (3) having unit managers actively promote MCB tablets.
