Nursing Quality Indicators for Reporting and Evaluation (NQuIRE) is the first international quality improvement initiative of its kind consisting of a database of quality indicators derived from recommendations within RNAO’s clinical Best Practice Guidelines (BPGs).
NQuIRE collects, analyzes and reports comparative data on nursing-sensitive indicators reflecting the structure, process and outcomes of care arising from BPG implementation in organizations participating in RNAO’s Best Practice Spotlight Organization® (BPSO®) designation. These health-care organizations, which exist across Canada, the US, Spain, Chile, Colombia, and Australia, will be able to use NQuIRE data to link evidence-informed nursing practice with quality-of-care outcomes.
