title: [Instrument to assess nursing care delivery stystems "IzEP". Making nursing care systematically visible for practice, management and science].
abstract: Network activities and publications show a rising interest in nursing care delivery systems like primary nursing. There are aspects in quality and outcomes attributed to primary nursing to answer the changes in health care. To assign outcomes in nursing to different kinds of nursing care delivery systems and for systematic developing of primary nursing in a unit one needs a special assessment instrument. IzEP, the instrument to assess nursing care delivery systems, relates the nursing care delivery system of a unit to primary nursing. This article describes the development of the instrument, testing of reliability, validity and possibilities for using.
