Nursing-sensitive indicators (NSIs) are measures used to assess aspects of healthcare quality that are influenced by nursing care.[1] They are used to examine the quality and outcomes of nursing care and may include measures of nursing structures, processes, or patient outcomes.[2]
Examples of indicators studied in nursing research include patient falls, pressure injuries, healthcare-associated infections, medication errors, mortality, failure to rescue, length of stay, and patient satisfaction.[1] The indicators have been examined in relation to factors such as nurse staffing, skill mix, and the organization of nursing care.[3]
The selection and definition of nursing-sensitive indicators vary between studies and measurement systems.[4] Because patient outcomes can also be affected by factors other than nursing care, the interpretation of individual indicators requires consideration of the clinical and organizational context.[2]
