NURS 6565: Quality and Cost Measurements
As nurse practitioners continue to expand their role in delivering health care, it is imperative for NPs to provide the data and evidence to demonstrate the impact of NP care on patient outcomes. There are several challenges that advanced practice nurses face to provide quality care and meet productivity goals of an organization. This week it is important to explore the connection of quality care and performance measures. Some questions to consider as we discuss this topic are:
Why are quality measures important?
What is the difference between quality measures and performance indicators?
What performance measures are used for NP productivity?
Why are incentive plans used in clinical organizations?
