Developing quality assurance programs in the occupational health setting
Abstract:
It is important in the delivery of quality nursing care to have a system in place to evaluate the care administered. It is the responsibility of the profession to develop such a system, which is done in nursing through quality assurance programs. Quality assurance programs are based on standards of practice and peer review systems. Occupational health nurses are somewhat unique in their work situations and often need to develop creative strategies for quality assurance programs. The criteria used to evaluate nursing care may be developed to look at the structure, process, or outcome of nursing care. The model for implementation of quality assurance programs involves seven steps.
