Abstract

Describes how a group of nurse managers developed a tool for measuring the quality of care in mental hospital wards and how this was adapted for use within general elderly services. Examines the impact of the tool on service provision within a group of small local community hospitals and evaluates it using a matrix composed of Donabedian’s structure/process/outcome model of quality and Maxwell’s six dimensions of quality.
