A management information system (MIS) is a tool for managing resources effectively. After reviewing some concepts and principles for effective data management, Hanson clearly applies the concepts to nurse staffing systems, which manage human resources. He defines a seven-step process for establishing an MIS, from defining the management objective to implementing the system. Pointing out that an MIS need not be computerized to be effective, Hanson presents a positive perspective and clarifies some often-misconceived notions about management information systems and the paper printouts they generate. In the next issue of JONA, a second article by Hanson will take a more detailed look at the variety, use, and usefulness of staffing statistics available from an MIS for staffing. These articles are based on material in a forthcoming book, Management Systems for Nursing Service Staffing, to be published by Aspen Systems Corporation, Rockville, Maryland.
管理信息系统（MIS）是有效管理资源的工具。在回顾了一些有效数据管理的概念和原则后，汉森明确将这些概念应用于管理人力资源的护士人员配置系统。他定义了建立管理信息系统的七个步骤流程，从定义管理目标到实施该系统。汉森指出，管理信息系统不一定需要计算机化才能有效，他给出了一个积极的观点，并澄清了一些关于管理信息系统及其生成的纸质打印输出的常见误解。在下一期《护理管理杂志》（JONA）中，汉森的第二篇文章将更详细地探讨从管理信息系统获取的人员配置统计数据的种类、用途和实用性。这些文章基于阿斯彭系统公司（位于马里兰州罗克维尔）即将出版的《护理服务人员配置管理系统》一书中的内容。
