What are the Key Indicators of Quality Nursing Care?
Several indicators help measure the quality of nursing care:
1. Patient Satisfaction: Surveys and feedback collected from patients about their experience. 2. Clinical Outcomes: Measures like infection rates, readmission rates, and recovery times. 3. Compliance with Standards: Adherence to established clinical guidelines and protocols. 4. Nurse-Patient Ratios: Adequate staffing levels to ensure each patient receives appropriate attention. 5. Continual Education: Ongoing training and professional development for nurses.
