The Role of the APN without Effective Quality Measures

The absence of individual and group quality measures will lower the quality of healthcare services provided by APNs. APNs will be unable to fulfill the needs of the community and holistic patient needs. Additionally, APNs will not track their progress and performance compared to other providers. The absence of quality implies that APNs will not formulate a standard of practice and establish specific core competencies. By so doing, the quality of healthcare services delivered by APNs will be lowered, and their demand will reduce.
