Can you measure nursing? (October 2008)
This edition of Policy+, from King’s College London, explores measures of the quality of nursing care. It is based on a report from the National Nursing Research Unit (NNRU) “State of the Art Metrics for Nursing: a rapid appraisal”. Drawing on a range of existing sets of indicators and systematic reviews linking aspects of nursing to patient outcomes, the paper examines whether or not nursing could be measured in a way which would allow comparison between institutions and facilitate accountability for the quality of care.
