A quality assurance study of height and weight measurements.
The QA representatives of the nursing and dietetics departments were able to work together toward resolving a shared QA concern. The problems associated with height and weight measurement were studied comprehensively. On the basis of the initial study results, recommendations were made that served to heighten the awareness in two departments of the many issues surrounding height and weight measurement. The restudy proved that those recommendations were effective in maintaining the current level of compliance, with moderate improvement.
