Three nurses from Emory Healthcare have been appointed Project NeLL (Nurse’s Electronic Learning Library) Scholars at Emory University’s Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing for the 2023-2024 academic year.
A collaboration between the School of Nursing and Emory Healthcare, the Project NeLL Scholars program is an intensive one-year data science program for nurses at Emory Healthcare.
During the program, scholars will learn how to use Project NeLL, a powerful suite of apps for nursing data science in nursing schools that enables nurses to derive data-driven solutions to healthcare challenges. Project NeLL provides access to her 2.7 billion anonymized medical records and her 37 trillion data points across the continuum of care that nurses can use in their research efforts.
Project NeLL Scholars will have the opportunity to complete big data research projects using the platform’s searchable big data repository and disseminate their work through peer-reviewed publications.
“Big data enables nurses to gather the insights they need to create solutions based on the reality of what’s happening across healthcare today,” said FASA professor and founding director of the school’s Data Science Center. One Dr. Vicki Hertzberg said: School of Nursing that runs Project NeLL. “We are pleased to appoint these Project NeLL Scholars, who will undoubtedly have a positive impact on the nursing community through their research work.”
