Core Measures.
National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators.
As you know, quality indicators are common measures that apply to most patients or disease-specific measures that convey the quality of clinical care for patients with specific diagnoses. Using standard quality indicators to measure and report outcomes helps ensure that medical facilities are providing safe, effective, patient-centered care. We use both qualitative and quantitative data to explore our success with health care delivery and outcome measures. Interprofessional teams need to use this information to define, develop, and implement quality processes.
