Using nursing quality benchmarks in operational dashboards and translating those data to drive performance excellence is a strategic imperative. Since access to unit-level, hospital-generated nurse-related benchmarks is an emerging arena, the authors provide an overview of aggregated trends and benchmarks gleaned from the California Nursing Outcome Coalition acute care database for 2 established nurse-related quality indicators—patient falls incidence and hospital-acquired pressure ulcer prevalence. Integrating these acute care benchmarks into clinical dashboards can be invaluable to clinicians, administrators, and policy makers who share a common commitment to expediting evidence-based improvement in patient care safety, outcomes, and excellence.
