Abstract:
Deciding if a project is one of research or quality improvement is a dilemma frequently faced by nursing administrators. Guidelines have been established to help administrators and practitioners overcome this dilemma and, at the same time, consider the rights and responsibilities of the patient, the hospital, and the investigator.
