Abstract It is often argued that Nursing Minimal Data Sets (NMDSs) have advantages for the nursing profession. The NMDSs that have been developed and applied in some countries have many features in common, but there are differences in purpose, content, sampling, collection approach, and developmental stage as well. This paper examines the advantages and disadvantages of data sets of nursing practice, and the differences and similarities of five national and international NMDS systems. The purpose is to apply this information toward an NMDS initiative in the Netherlands. Future initiatives in NMDS development should include international coordination.
