A beginning nursing student or any nurse entering a situation in which there is no previouslevel of experience (e.g., an experienced operating room nurse chooses to now practice inhome health) is an example of a novice nurse. A proficient nurse perceives a patient’s clinicalsituation as a whole, is able to assess an entire situation, and can readily transfer knowledgegained from multiple previous experiences to a situation. A competent nurse understands theorganization and specific care required by the type of patients (e.g., surgical, oncology, ororthopedic patients). This nurse is a competent practitioner who is able to anticipate nursingcare and establish long-range goals. A nurse who has had some level of experience with thesituation is an advanced beginner.

The federal government, the biggest consumer of health care, which pays for Medicare andMedicaid, has created professional standards review organizations (PSROs) to review thequality, quantity, and costs of hospital care. One of the most significant factors that influencedpayment for health care was the prospective payment system (PPS). Established by Congressin 1983, the PPS eliminated cost-based reimbursement. Hospitals serving patients whoreceivedMedicarebenefitswereno longerable tochargewhatever apatient’s carecost.Instead,thePPSgrouped inpatienthospital servicesforMedicarepatientsintodiagnosis-related groups (DRGs).

Nursing quality indicators include the following:hospital readmission rates, nursing hours per patient day, and patient falls/falls with injuries.While every major health care organization measures certain aspects of patient satisfaction, itis not a nursing quality indicator.
