Nursing & Midwifery Quality Care-Metrics (QCM): A National Initiative to enableMeasurement for Improvement in the Health Service Executive (Ireland)

Background: Increasing reports of patient harm and poor quality care has created the requirement for healthcare professionals to question what is known about the quality of care being delivered in clinical practice. A wealth of data is available in healthcare but what is missing is consensus on what are the important aspects of what nurses and midwives do and a national systematic ap-proach to collate, analyse and interpret data to track the quality of care delivery.

QCM’s provide an indication of the quality of the fundamentals of nursing and midwifery care processes in healthcare settings in Ireland. The measures are sensitive to the influence of nurses and midwives, appropriate for all care settings, aligned to evidence based standards and agreed through national consensus. QCM’s provide the framework to identify gaps in care delivery, enabling action planning for quality improvement and provide a mechanism by which care providers can be accountable for the quality of their care delivery. Test Your Care, a software application available to HSE set-tings provides the standardised platform to measure, monitor and track the fundamentals of nursing and midwifery clinical care processes.

Objectives: To measure nursing and midwifery processes of care in order to identify areas of good practice that need to be acknowledged and to identify

areas for practice improvement. To achieve reliability in care processes in order to improve patient/client care outcomes.
