Nurses use Quality Indicators (QIs)

Nurses use Quality Indicators (QIs) for several purposes. QIs highlight potential quality concerns, identify
areas that need further study and investigation, and track changes over time. The Agency for Healthcare
Research and Quality (AHRQ) QIs include Prevention Quality Indicators, Inpatient Quality Indicators,
Patient Safety Indicators, and Pediatric Quality Indicators (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality,
n.d.).
