To describe the development of a guidance framework to assist nurses and midwives in selecting nursing and midwifery care process metrics and indicators for use in practice.
Process metrics are measures of care provision activities by nurses and midwives.
Phase 1 was a rapid review assessment of the literature conducted to identify an initial framework. Six electronic databases were searched with Google Scholar and reference tracking performed. Phase 2 was expert review of the developing framework by nursing and midwifery experts in practice, academia and an international expert in quality care metrics.
The literature assessment yielded 28 papers with 59 metric attributes identified. From this, a six-domain framework was developed. Following expert review, the framework was reduced to four domains: "Process Focused," "Important," "Operational" and "Feasible."
This is the first framework specifically to guide nurses and midwives in selecting nursing and midwifery process metrics and indicators.
描述一个指导框架的开发过程，以协助护士和助产士选择用于实践的护理和助产护理流程指标。
流程指标是衡量护士和助产士护理提供活动的指标。
第一阶段是对文献进行快速回顾评估，以确定初始框架。通过谷歌学术搜索了六个电子数据库，并进行了参考文献追踪。第二阶段是由实践、学术界的护理和助产专家以及质量护理指标方面的国际专家对正在开发的框架进行专家评审。
文献评估产生了28篇论文，确定了59个指标属性。据此开发了一个六领域框架。经过专家评审后，该框架缩减为四个领域：“以流程为重点”、“重要”、“可操作”和“可行”。
这是第一个专门指导护士和助产士选择护理和助产流程指标的框架。
