Nurse sensitive quality indicators, developed through the American Nurses Association's (ANA) Safety and Quality Initiative, are key to evaluating the quality of patient care in acute care settings. This study found that the ANA quality indicators were also relevant for long-term care facilities. Long-term care facilities can be part of the ANA Safety and Quality Initiative by collecting and reporting nurse sensitive quality indicators and submitting data to the National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators.
通过美国护士协会(ANA)的安全与质量倡议制定的护士敏感质量指标,是评估急性护理环境中患者护理质量的关键。本研究发现,ANA质量指标对长期护理机构也具有相关性。长期护理机构可以通过收集和报告护士敏感质量指标,并将数据提交至国家护理质量指标数据库,从而成为ANA安全与质量倡议的一部分。
