Assessment 4: Informatics and Nursing Sensitive Quality Indicators

 

Hello, my name is NW. I also want to congratulate you on joining us and being part of our

fantastic team. It is my honor to mentor you and introduce you to your new role in the company. I

and monitoring specific indicators. As nurses, we need to know that the NDNQI contains data

from 1,100 U.S. facilities and we are pleased to be part of this elite group. Therefore, it is vitally
