Division of Psychiatric and Chemical Dependency Nursing staff at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics developed an integrative framework for structuring a quality control program. Indicators of basic structural soundness and staff competence form the framework's foundation. Other framework components include patient care improvement processes that measure conformity and variance to performance standards, research projects that alleviate problems in care or infrastructure, and grave errors, known as sentinel events, that require intense scrutiny to prevent their reoccurrence.
