This newly published scoping review by PhD candidate Orla Loftus Moran and Professor Mary Casey explores the development and implementation of Quality Care Process Metrics (QCP-Ms) for general practice nurses (GPNs) in Ireland. 

QCP-Ms are standardised tools that measure the quality of nursing care processes, ensuring adherence to best practice guidelines. While these metrics are utilised in various Irish healthcare settings, their application in general practice remains limited. This review aims to map existing literature on QCP-Ms in general practice, identify knowledge gaps, and inform the development of relevant metrics for GPNs.​

The study follows the five-stage framework by Arksey and O’Malley and adheres to the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. By synthesising international literature, the authors seek to provide insights that will aid policymakers and healthcare professionals in enhancing primary care services.​
