title: Nursing audit: measuring the quality of nursing care.
abstract: The quality assurance initiative was taken in 1984 in Papua New Guinea as a result of numerous public criticisms of the services and the care given and/or observed by patients and the community. The approach to quality assurance chosen for this nursing audit is a problem-oriented and patient-focused structure, process and outcome method based on World Health Organization principles and adapted from the Dynamic Standard Setting System.
