Nurse Sensitive Indicators for Home care – Protocol for a Quintuple Aim Scoping Review

Nursing-sensitive indicators (NSIs) are metrics used to evaluate the quality and impact of nursing care on patient outcomes. Supporting continuous quality and performance improvement, NSIs enable health care organizations to systematically monitor care quality and safety. While NSIs have canonically emphasized clinical outcomes, this narrow fails to capture the comprehensive nature of nursing care. This Scoping Review (ScR) Protocol will expand the lens to examine how NSIs align with the dimensions of the Quintuple Aim, including advancing health equity, people-centered care, health outcomes, cost-effectiveness, and provider outcomes.
