title: Quality indicators: control maintains--propriety improves.
abstract: Continuous improvement of care depends upon the efforts of all nursing personnel. Supervisors facilitate quality program operations in their specific areas; head nurses document outcomes; and staff nurses identify problems and contribute to planning. All join in evaluating appropriateness of patient care and in modifying approaches for greater effectiveness.
