She authored "Notes on Matters Affecting the Health, Efficiency and Hospital Administration of the British Army," which sparked significant reforms in military healthcare provisions. Nightingale's groundbreaking use of statistical data and graphical representation showcased patient mortality rates effectively, leading to the establishment of public health policies that improved conditions not only in military hospitals but also in civilian facilities. Her contributions reshaped the perception of nursing into a noble vocation, opening doors for women in the field and laying the groundwork for modern nursing practices.
