CHOPR’s groundbreaking nurse-sensitive measure of hospital quality up for re-evaluation by the National Quality Forum (NQF)
| |
 |
The public comment period on whether to re-endorse the PES-NWI closes on Friday, January 18, 2019. The measure has been endorsed by the National Quality Forum since 2004. |
|  | "Please consider commenting and encouraging your colleagues to comment. A robust set of public comments helps the committee when deliberating a measure." Dr. Eileen Lake |
| The Overseers of NQF’s portfolio of safety measures begins deliberating whether or not to re-endorse the Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index (PES-NWI) this month. What better time than now to reflect upon the measure’s global impact on health care quality, the nurse work environment and health services research?
In 2000, Dr. Eileen Lake set out to develop five subscales that would measure the hospital nursing practice environment and its influence on nurse and patient outcomes from the Revised Nursing Work Index (Aiken and Patrician, 2000). The NWI was considered an ideal source because it was drawn from interviews of nurses in the original Magnet® hospitals. While it has been 17 years since Lake's landmark paper, "Development of the Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index", was accepted for publication in Research in Nursing and Health, the study remains ever in the public eye, among nurse scientists, hospital administrators, and doctoral students. In study after study, investigators have concluded the PES-NWI remains the NQF-endorsed measure of a nurse's ability to practice nursing skillfully and deliver high quality care.
