Nursing-Sensitive Quality Indicators

by Q.

I'm looking for some help from those familiar with the ANA.

In 1999 I read a bulletin from the ANA regarding Nursing-Sensitive Quality Indicators, such as staffing, patient falls, decubti, etc and in that was "Patient Satisfaction with Educational Information."

I've tried finding a document from them which is more recent, stating that the educational component is still a quality indicator currently. I need this to help give some meat to a project I'm working on. My VP speaks in terms of quality indicators.

Can anyone help?

Have you tried a google search or searching the ANA site?

I came up with

http://www.nursingworld.org/readroom/fssafe99.htm

http://www.nursingworld.org/quality/database.htm

Hope these help?

Best wishes

I have; your first think is the one dated 1999. The second link that is more current I've looked at, but it doesn't mention the patient education measure.

That's why I'm trying to figure out if the patient education measure is still applicable.

But thanks for your help.
