There are several resources contained in the website of the centers of disease control,

prevention, division of informatics, and surveillance. The funds can be used and incorporated in

the delivery of quality healthcare services. I will discuss more on the wonder online databases,

especially about cancer statistics. Note that cancer is among the top five diseases in the world

that has a high mortality rate; furthermore, it's a pandemic, especially in third world countries

that don't have well-modernized healthcare systems. Nurses can use the information on the

website to improve their skills about cancer treatment; also, the number of cancer patients

estimated to have cancer annually to is indicated; thus, it will help them to determine the

resources needed and how they will administer the treatment. It also contains the cancer

mortality ratios, and this is vital because they may use the ratio to flatten the curve of the death

rate. (Stephens et al.,2020).

Since this information is web-based, the nurses that utilize the use of telehealth may

benefit a lot as compared to those who don't use it. Telemedicine enables medical information to

be shared only via social media platform, The nurses my benefit since the report in detail, the

urgency of the information, since one can easily access anytime he or she needs via his phone or

computer. The nurses will also gain more knowledge and skills since the information is obtained

from different backgrounds, and thus, they may be able to learn new things and give their

feedback in the area they feel that is supposed to be improved. There are several things that I

found innovative about the link; first the information is well summarized, and the language used

is understandable, and hence there are no difficulties, the data is also well arranged in different

subtopics making the work look very tidy—centers for (Disease Control and Prevention, &

National Center for Health Statistics. 2019).
