The American Nurses Association (ANA) inaugurated Nursing's Safety and Quality Initiative in 1994. This multiphased initiative provides a framework for the application of the Nursing Care Report Card for Acute Care that aims to evaluate the nature and strength of the linkages between nursing care and nursing-sensitive quality indicators in the acute care setting. Arizona is one of six states participating in this investigation. This article describes the development of the Arizona Nurses' Association (AzNA) Nursing Report Card Project and associated model.

The scores are still low, and nurses need further education and reinforcement about basic pain management concepts.
