"According to Izumi (2012), "... providing quality service and striving for excellence are ethical responsibilities" (para 1). For many of us, though, Izumi suggested involvement in quality initiatives has become more an administrative mandate than an ethical responsibility for nursing professionals. Because many of the current quality measures are required by external agencies, we may have lost sight of our central role in quality improvement. Survey subscales (bodily pain, physical functioning, general health, general mental health, role limitations due to physical health problems, role limitations due to personal or emotional problems, social functioning, energy/fatigue or vitality) helped us understand the impact of this surgery on patients' quality of life (Laucis, Hays, & Bhattacharyya, 2015)."
