Several metrics are crucial for quality monitoring in nursing:
1. Patient Satisfaction: Surveys and feedback mechanisms help gauge patient experiences. 2. Infection Rates: Monitoring the incidence of healthcare-associated infections. 3. Readmission Rates: Tracking the frequency of patients being readmitted. 4. Medication Errors: Keeping tabs on any discrepancies in medication administration. 5. Staffing Levels: Ensuring adequate nurse-to-patient ratios.
