Furthermore, they are critical for healthcare assessment by implementing nursing best practices and providing resources for decisions regarding the quality and safety of patients of HAPU. These NQSI help to encourage medical staff to actively engage in healthcare plan development, which is intended to foster excellence in quality care management (Bao et al., 2019).

The NDNQI information aids in the study and evaluation modern nursing procedures. Their practices are linked to patient satisfaction. The hospital can then use this information to set organizational targets for advancement at the person as well as the organization level for preventing HAPU. Nursing leaders can use these NQSI to enhance patient outcomes, reduce adverse effects, and increase patient care, security and satisfaction. These can also teach nurses about providing patient-oriented, secure and effective treatment (Bao et al., 2019).

Evidence-Based Practices (EBP) Guidelines for Nurses

Clinical technology improves the quality and outcomes of medical care. However, nurses must be properly trained in order to use this technology. Nurses contribute to evidence-based treatment, and management. The NSQIs are critical for developing guidelines based on evidence for different advancements in the treatment of patients. NQSI serves as a platform for assessing practice. These indicators help nurses understand their care objectives and make judgments about evidence-based medical interventions (Monaco et al., 2021). 

NQSIs are required for the Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) standards for healthcare technologies, including HAPU prevention and control. Developing evidence-based guidelines can help prevent HAPU (Hakami et al., 2023).  These quality indicators provide a framework for nurses to improve their knowledge of new and existing hospital technology, ensuring it is used safely and efficiently for patient care. Doctors and nurses can increase patient satisfaction and a sense of safety through NSQIs. This is because the quality of care nurses deliver is immediately reflected in NSQIs, which promote patient-centered care and a culture of continuous enhancement (Engle et al., 2021).

NQSI helps to improve individual’s satisfaction, health, and standard of life for example, aid in setting therapeutic objectives for HAPUs. It entails reducing the danger of wounds, stabilizing the medical condition, progressing toward closure of wound, and managing related problems. This care plan is developed due to evidence based findings of significant incidence of HAPU in NDNQI (Ebi et al., 2019). The non-contact Pressure Ulcer Monitoring Platform (PUMP) system records patients’ repositioning. It was developed as a result of evidence that demonstrated a substantial number of HAPUs (Minteer et al., 2020).

These quality indicators assist nurses and nurse administrators in detecting vulnerable patients and swiftly relocating these patients (Minteer et al., 2020). Medical professionals can improve patient safety by using NQSI-based evidence-based recommendations for treatment of patients equipment linked to HAPU prevention. It also helps to reduce the number of difficulties linked with medical setting and to improve the quality of care given in healthcare setting (Han et al., 2023). It ultimately improve patient safety and enhance outcomes. 

Conclusion

The knowledge of NSQI including HAPUs is significant for practicing nurses. It improves the treatment quality, patient care and safety. Knowledge of NQSI enhance the collaboration and interaction among multidisciplinary workers encourages and the improved nursing practice to prevent this HAPUs issues in the healthcare setting. These indicators act as a tool and guidelines for nurses, to improve the patient satisfaction. I believe that this session is informative for you all as freshly qualified nurses, and that you learned about nursing quality indicators and their significance
