Abstract

The "Call to Action: Blueprint for Change in Acute and Critical Care Nursing" emphasizes the need to recognize and measure the contributions of nurses. This department article calls for a comprehensive approach to measure quality nursing care, advocating for the development of nursing-sensitive outcomes that reflect the presence of nursing care, not the absence or the negative. Nurse leaders are urged to ensure that the value of nurses is made visible by moving beyond traditional negative measures of nursing care quality.
