COVID, growing costs, and clinician burnout require the improved use of data

Pagliaroli explains that electronic systems can reduce the time clinicians spend on administration if implemented effectively. Digital health solutions deliver process transformation, service integration, and the implementation of evidence-based care pathways. Nurses, however - particularly Chief Nursing Information Officers (CNIOs) - play a critical role in care delivery as they're tasked with leveraging digital platforms and tools in all care settings. The COVID-19 pandemic was a pivotal moment during which the importance of healthcare data was realized. Digital platforms also enable us to use data to monitor a patient through treatment and to identify those at high risk of chronic conditions within the broader population.
