Measuring Quality in Community Nursing (QuICN) is a mixed methods project comprising a national survey and case study investigating how quality indicators used for community nursing are selected and applied in practice and their usefulness from the perspectives of health commissioners, service providers, patients and carers.
The overall aim of the study is to understand how quality schemes for community nursing services work in order to maximise their potential to achieve their intended goal of improving the quality of patient care. The final report is due in the Autumn.
