  • Title: The American Association of Critical Care Nurse's Beacon Award: a framework for quality.
    Author: Reed KD.
    Journal: Crit Care Nurs Clin North Am; 2008 Dec; 20(4):383-91. PubMed ID: 19007704.
    Abstract:
    The Beacon Award for Critical Care Excellence recognizes individual critical care units that have met rigid criteria for excellence, exhibiting high-quality standards and exceptional care of patients and their families. Used as a framework for quality, the award criteria focus on structure, process, and outcomes that enable quality to emerge in the critical care environment. The journey toward meeting Beacon Award criteria can produce long-lasting changes that transform unit-based culture and lead to sustained excellence.
