1 Release Notes: Measure Information Form Version 1.00 (NSC) **NQF-ENDORSED VOLUNTRY CONSENSUS STNDRDS FOR NURSING-SENSITIVE CRE PERFORMNCE MESURES** Measure Set: Nursing-Sensitive Care Measure Information Form Performance Measure Identifier: Set Measure ID# Measure Population.1 Hours worked by RN nursing staff.2 Hours worked by LVN/LPN staff.3 Hours worked by UP staff.4 Hours worked by Contract staff (RN, LVN/LPN, and UP) Performance Measure Name: Skill Mix NSC 12.1 Skill Mix - Registered Nurse (RN) staff NSC 12.2 Skill Mix Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN)/ Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) staff NSC Skill Mix - Unlicensed ssistive Personnel (UP) NSC Skill Mix - Contract staff Description: Percentage of hours worked by RN nursing staff (employee and contract) with patient care responsibilities by type of unit Percentage of hours worked by LVN/LPN staff (employee and contract) with patient care responsibilities by type of unit Percentage of hours worked by UP staff (employee and contract) with patient care responsibilities by type of unit Percentage of hours worked by contract staff (RN, LVN/LPN LVN/LPN, and UP) with patient care responsibilities by type of unit Rationale: The skill mix of the nursing staff, typically expressed as the ratio of RNs (LPNs/LVN,s and UPs) to total nursing hours has been widely studied with respect to its effects on the quality of care. If the percentage of hours supplied by RNs is not adequate, less skilled staff may have to perform tasks for which they are not trained, thus increasing the risk of adverse patient outcomes. Examining the relationship between skill mix and processes and outcomes of care within health care organizations may identify opportunities to improve care delivery, patient outcomes, and provide an evidence base for determining the most effective mixture of staffing.
