In 2004, the National Quality Forum (NQF) endorsed a set of voluntary consensus standards for nursing-sensitive care that quantifies nursing's contribution to patient safety, health care outcomes, and a professional work environment. Since endorsement, these consensus standards have been the basis for research, quality improvement, and policy setting. This article provides a summary of NQF's consensus development process and various efforts that have cascaded from the endorsement of these consensus standards.
2004年，美国国家质量论坛（NQF）认可了一套针对护理敏感型护理的自愿性共识标准，该标准对护理工作在保障患者安全、改善医疗保健结果以及营造专业工作环境方面所做的贡献进行了量化。自认可以来，这些共识标准一直是研究、质量改进和政策制定的基础。本文概述了NQF的共识制定过程以及自这些共识标准获得认可后所引发的各项工作。
