If I were required to omit one of the Five Rights of conical information use: right information, right people, right settings, right way, and right time, I would omit the right setting. While all Five Rights are essential for optimal nursing practice, the right setting is the most adaptable due to advancements in mobile health, telehealth, and nursing informatics Systems. In their 2025 systematic review, Shi, Wotherspoon, and Morphet found that well-integrated informatics platforms improve patient safety outcomes in critical care by allowing real-time access to structured data across various care environments. Their review suggests that when conicians have timely and accurate information, regardless of their physical location, they can still deliver safe, informed care. The ability to access patient data remotely, securely, and in real-time via mobile devices or cloud systems allows teams to make clinical decisions beyond the constraints of physical settings. Telehealth infrastructure and mobile interoperability, as discussed by Bray et al (2024), have further expanded this flexibility by building workforce capacity to deliver care in nontraditional or decentralized environments. If the other rights, information, people, way, and time are upheld, care can remain efficient and safe even in suboptimal settings. The correct information is foundational. Without accurate, timely, and structured data, clinicians may make unsafe decisions. Shi et al. (2025) emphasize that real-time access to key metrics, such as labs, vitals, and alerts, reduces errors and enhances clinical outcomes. The right people must also be involved, as a timely collaboration between interdisciplinary professionals ensures coordinated responses. The right way refers to the effective presentation of information. Intuitive interfaces and clinical decision-support tools reduce cognitive overload and misinterpretation (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2017). Lastly, the right time is non-negotiable. Even perfect data, in the hands of the right people, loses its value if not accessed promptly so that it can be acted upon. In conclusion, while the right setting enhances care delivery, it can be compensated for through robust informatics tools and interprofessional collaboration. The other four rights, information, people, way, and time are less flexible and more directly tied to patient safety and clinical effectiveness. As demonstrated by current literature, especially Shi et al (2025), nursing informatics not only facilitates data sharing but empowers clinicians to transform information into knowledge and wisdom, even in less-than-ideal conditions
