Care quality and safety in long-term aged care settings: a systematic review and narrative analysis of missed care measurements.
Missed nursing care can lead to lower quality of care and threaten patient safety. This systematic review including 24 articles evaluated methods for measuring missed nursing care in long-term aged care (LTAC) settings. The authors concluded that existing tools are inconsistently applied and lack strong methodologic verification; additional research to develop standardized, validated tools is needed.
