Stockbrokers rely on market data to advise clients on financial matters. Meteorologists
rely on weather data to forecast weather conditions, while realtors rely on data to advise
on the purchase and sale of property. In these and other cases, data not only helps solve
problems, but adds to the practitioneràand the disciplineàbody of knowledge.
Of course, the nursing profession also relies heavily on data. The field of nursing
informatics aims to make sure nurses have access to the appropriate date to solve
healthcare problems, make decisions in the interest of patients, and add to knowledge.
In this Discussion, you will consider a scenario that would benefit from access to data
and how such access could facilitate both problem-solving and knowledge formation.
