Discussion #1: Nurse Sensitive Indicators (NSI’s)
In 1998 the National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators (NDNQI) was established by the American Nurses Association (ANA) in order to collect and build upon data attained from earlier sources and further develop nursing’s body of knowledge related to factors which influence the quality of nursing care. Currently, many of the NDNQI’s indicators are endorsed by
the National Quality Forum (NQF) and are part of the NQF’s Nursing Sensitive Measure Set.
