Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Future care delivery models will be driven by healthcare payment models such as value-based purchasing and shared savings programs. Many of the quality indicator metrics associated with these financing programs can be achieved by registered nurses. Additional quality indicator metrics supported by registered nurses include longitudinal care planning, access to 24-hour care, advanced directives and care planning, activation measures, health information exchange portals, and clinical data registries. While the other choices may contribute some, they will see an increase as the call for more ambulatory care nurses goes out.
