title: Developing outcome indicators in continuing care: part 1.
abstract: In the first of two articles, the authors describe the development of outcome measures for nursing older people in a continuing care setting. They describe why such a process was initiated and the framework which guided the project, including current nursing and government policy and theories of knowledge and expert practice. The second article will appear next week.
