Prepare an 8-10 minute audio training tutorial (video is optional) for new nurses on the importance of nursing-sensitive quality indicators. Introduction As you begin to prepare this assessment you are encouraged to complete the Conabedian Quality Assessment Framework activity. Quality health care delivery requires systematic action. Completion of this will help you succeed with the assessment as you consider how the triad of structure (such as the hospital, clinic, provider qualifications/organizational characteristics) and process (such as the delivery/coordination/education/protocols/practice style or standard of care) may be modified to achieve quality outcomes.

How a Nursing-Sensitive Quality Indicator Establishes Evidence-Based Practice Guidelines for Nurses to Follow

Nurses’ sensitive quality indicators inform on best practices in patient handling. Naik et al. (2020) assert that NSI informs quality improvement measures, including operational adjustments, system enhancements, and refinement of quality indicators in a hospital. Additionally, NSI indicates how nursing practices have impacted patient and clinical outcomes. This helps determine what aspects of nursing practice can be modified to ensure better clinical outcomes and patient safety. Since these indicators are periodically updated and informed by scientific data, they can form part of guidelines for nurses to follow and be used in establishing an evidence-based practice.

In conclusion, let us look at the key findings from this presentation. Nursing-sensitive quality indicators remain significant in informing quality improvement measures in healthcare. Nurses and other members of the interdisciplinary teams play a role in collecting and reporting data on these indices. As you join the nursing workforce of this hospital, you should know that you play a role in collecting and reporting data on NSI. This data can be used to implement quality improvement measures in the hospital.

Thank you.
