Nursing Quality Indicators

The implementation of a monitoring system is essential in the creation of a quality improvement program. Even in the case of limited resources, one can employ systematic methods in order to monitor care quality regularly. A good monitoring system must adapt to existing situations in the unit that implements it; it must start with defining the most important indicators in order to establish, in time, the most complete set of indicators possible. The quantification of the impact nurses and nursing have on the quality of care-taking processes and on patient evolution became very important in the development of personnel plans based on evidence, in order to understand the impact of nursing and optimize patient evolution. This study was performed within POSDRU/61577 program.
