Hello dear members, my name is Julian Nkem and we are extremely glad to recruit some of the brightest minds in this field to facilitate our patients and practitioners’ teams. Today, I am greatly excited to assist you with the understanding of our improvements in the overall healthcare system and how we are innovating towards using the Nursing Sensitive Quality Indicators or NDNQI approach to improve the outcomes of quality care in our prestigious healthcare organization (Vila Health Hospital). These nursing sensitive quality indicators were first introduced in 1998 by the the National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators (NDNQI) to track and report the quality indicators that strongly impact the performance of nurses in healthcare organizations (Merkley, 2018).
Today, we are proud to use the NDNQI’s approach or framework to track hospital’s performance and compare our nursing actions against hospital data. This data will help us to establish the evidence-based practice guidelines to improve our inpatient and outpatient tactics and strategies. This presentation is a part of improving our quality of nursing care through a series of educational and outreach programs.
The quality indicators related to the NDNQI are categorized into three forms. For instance, firstly, we use structure as a vital component of the overall NDNQI framework. Then we include processes and evaluate outcomes. For your information, I would like to disclose that Avedis Donabed, the great theorist and a researcher first included these three attributes or elements into the NDNQI framework. There are four types of nursing sensitive quality indicators such as nurse-focused outcomes, patient-focused outcomes, organizational-focused, and nursing-focused interventions and processes.
