Abstract
This issue brings us face to face with the leadership challenges we must address to navigate a future that - in many ways - is already here. It begins with a special focus on nursing data standards with a paper focused on one of nursing's longstanding issues - our invisibility in data systems. For that data to matter and be usable for the purposes of organizing, informing and evaluating the nursing workforce and its processes and outcomes, it must be standardized.
