Leveraging nurse-related dashboard benchmarks to expedite performance improvement and document excellence
Donaldson N, Brown DS, Aydin CE, Bolton ML, Rutledge DN. Leveraging nurse-related dashboard benchmarks to expedite performance improvement and document excellence. Journal of Nursing Administration. 2005;35(4):163-172.

The article provides an overview of aggregated trends and benchmarks gleaned from the California Nursing Outcome Coalition acute care database for two established nurse-related quality indicators: patient falls incidence and hospital-acquired pressure ulcer prevalence. Integrating these acute-care benchmarks into clinical dashboards can be invaluable to clinicians, administrators, and policy makers who share a common commitment to expediting evidence-based improvement in patient care safety, outcomes, and excellence.
