Finding the true north: lessons from the National Healthcare Quality and Disparities Report.
The authors delineate important features and findings of the 2014 report. For example, it shows that one measure of patient safety improved quickly. The rate of central line–associated bloodstream infection per 1000 medical and surgical discharges (age 18+ years or obstetric admissions) improved at an annual rate of change of more than 10 percent. This success reflects the direct impact that nurses can have in making care safer for their patients.
