Development of nursing care quality improvement system on website in Japan.

A model for measuring the quality of nursing care has been developed in Japan since 1993 by Katada. Then a self evaluation model was developed in 2002 by Abe et al. This model consisted of three dimensions: structure, process, and outcome. Each dimension was constructed from measurements of six domains which applicants categorized previously, such as "understanding individuality", "patient empowerment", "family care", "direct care", "medical team coordination", and "incident prevention" In this study, it has been developed and posted on a web site for inspection and examined for its usability.
