title: Developing a unit-based quality assurance tool.
abstract: Due to the dynamic nature of QA, the indicators for the critical care nursing division will continue to change in response to societal, professional, and individual values, as well as to advances in scientific knowledge. Perhaps the latter will present the greatest challenge to the CNS, whose direct and indirect roles influence the quality of care in the critical care setting.
