Wed, 10/04/2000 - 12:00am — Karen Stevenson
Description: 

The American Nurses Association (ANA) has identified ten nursing-sensitive indicators of quality of care in non-acute care settings like long term care and home care. They are hoping to explore the relationship of nurse staffing and quality of patient care as they further develop these indicators. They are looking at pain management, consistency of communication, staff mix, client satisfaction, prevention of tobacco use, cardiovascular prevention, caregiver activity, identification of primary caregiver, psychosocial interaction, and activities of daily living.
