The Nursing Roadmap for Quality: a signposting map for nursing

Published: 3 March 2010

The Nursing Roadmap for Quality has been designed help nurses and their teams understand the elements of the quality framework that relate to nursing practice.

The purpose of the document is to:

  • inform nurses and their teams of their role in supporting quality improvements against the seven elements of the quality framework
  • provide a ‘one-stop shop’ for key resources, which nursing teams can use to further demonstrate their added contribution to quality
  • reinforce the need for nurses to identify ways to reduce waste and repetition, by contributing to the quality and productivity challenge.

The document identifies 41 resources across the seven elements of the quality roadmap and aligns to the workforce and career framework work already produced by the Department last year.
