Nursing Process Health Care Indicators: A Scoping Review of Development Methods

Identifying how nursing care directly affects patients is essential to improving care quality, reducing costs, and determining nursing's contribution to overall organizational performance. This scoping review examined methods used for developing nursing process health care indicators. Key concepts and sources of evidence were identified to lay a foundation for future development and identification of valid and reliable nursing process health care indicators.
