known to the nursing practitioners who deliver that care.

will support and promote continuous improvement in the quality
of patient care.
Objectives

enlist the participation of nursing management and staff
in the development and documentation of these standards,
so that they may serve as a measure for nursing performance.
-

continually modify standards of care reflected by changes
in value, advances in science and technology and alterations
in the policies and regulations of governmental, institutional
and regulatory agencies.
