Abstract
The Nursing Minimum Data Set (NMDS) is an initial effort to establish uniform standards for the collection of minimum essential nursing data. It draws on the documentation of the nursing process that is performed when nurses take care of people in any setting. This establishment of uniform standards is crucial as data in the health care field become computerized and retrievable. These standards are the bases for collecting comparable data locally, regionally, and nationally.
