Abstract
Introduction: Advances and increasing technology adoption in the field of health have made it possible to implement tools such as clinical dashboards to assist nursing staff in providing better, more effective and safer care. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of clinical dashboards in providing nursing care.Material and Methods: This was a review study.

The necessary information was extracted using a researcher-made checklist and analyzed and reported in a descriptive manner.Results: A total of 2749 articles were retrieved. After reviewing by title, abstract and keywords, 7 studies that had appropriate content validity were selected for the present study. The intensive care unit had the highest frequency of dashboard use in nursing processes (n=3, 42%). The findings of this study showed that improving the quality of care, reducing medical errors and increasing patient safety are the most important benefits of using clinical dashboards in the field of nursing.

Summary
Advances and increasing technology adoption in the field of health have made it possible to implement tools such as clinical dashboards to assist nursing staff in providing better, more effective and safer care. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of clinical dashboards in providing nursing care. Nurses are faced with a large amount of clinical data that in most cases do not have the right tools and processes to manage and use this information optimally [3]. Since nurses have an important role in providing care to patients due to their greater interaction with the patient, they should not be kept away from patient health information. Loss of their knowledge of the doctor's instructions and important patient information can lead to negative consequences in the patient's treatment process [4, 5]
