Key performance indicators are the measurement part of your balanced scorecard. They are effective because you can measure them at intervals and in the four areas instead of just the end-of-year fiscal accounting. This is an informative article about KPIs. Read before setting your measurements as they will affect your target dates as well. The terminology, unfortunately, is often used interchangeably for outcomes and benchmarks that KPIs represent. As a result, I have provided a glossary of terms in the event your outcomes or benchmarks are familiar to you under another name from nursing. If you do use one of these terms, other than outcomes or measurement to indicate progress, be sure to you are using the alternate term correctly. Otherwise, you can use outcome or benchmark for your measurement term.

Did you know that in some states if you join your state nursing association you are also automatically a member of the ANA? For example, by joining the state nursing association in Delaware, Maryland, and New Jersey you get the full membership. However, in Pennsylvania, you can join the state nursing organization or the ANA or both (but it is separate fees for this). If you want to know how it works for your state, you can call 1-800-274-4262 and choose option 4. You can ask the person responding about membership for your state.
