RESUMEN
Clinical units and their nursing staffs are heterogeneous. Advances in data and analytics provide opportunities to better match patient needs with nurse competencies. Building upon a previous publication on a unit profile dashboard, team members now describe development of a nursing dashboard aggregating characteristics of staff on each clinical unit of the hospital. This article describes methods, challenges, and future directions for nurse leaders to use the dashboards to optimize care delivery and patient and nurse outcomes.

Nurse leaders need real-time, accurate data to design care delivery models and make decisions that reflect the patient populations they serve. To support nurse leader practice and optimize patient care, we developed a unit profile dashboard to describe the unique characteristics of patient populations cared for on each clinical unit at our hospital. In this article, we describe dashboard development, challenges, use cases, and plans for data analytics to further advance nursing practice.
