A window of opportunity was opened for nurse researchers with the High Performance Computing and Communications (HPCC) initiative in President Bush's 1992 fiscal-year budget. Nursing research moved into the high-performance computing environment through the University of Nevada Las Vegas/Cray Project for Nursing and Health Data Research (PNHDR). USing the CRAY YMP 2/216 supercomputer, the PNHDR established the validity of a supercomputer platform for nursing research. In addition, the research has identified a paradigm shift in statistical analysis, delineated actual and potential barriers to nursing research in a supercomputing environment, conceptualized a new branch of nursing science called Nurmetrics, and discovered new avenue for nursing research utilizing supercomputing tools.
1992年布什总统财政年度预算中的高性能计算与通信（HPCC）计划为护理研究人员打开了一扇机遇之窗。护理研究通过内华达大学拉斯维加斯分校/克雷护理与健康数据研究项目（PNHDR）进入了高性能计算环境。PNHDR使用克雷YMP 2/216超级计算机，确立了超级计算机平台在护理研究中的有效性。此外，该研究还发现了统计分析中的范式转变，勾勒出超级计算环境中护理研究的实际和潜在障碍，将一个名为护理计量学的护理科学新分支概念化，并发现了利用超级计算工具进行护理研究的新途径。
