Great question...Data drives everything. These are only a small number of tools that "promote effective data administration".
Word processing allows you to write the plan, the goal, expectations, outcomes, implementation, etc.
Spreadsheets help to take your data to the next level by allowing you to review and analyze the numbers. It shifts the data to drive better clinical/business decisions for all patient care. However, it depends on how you spin the data.
Presentations are used to express the results that you find in nursing.
