Nurses, Midwives and AHP’s protect, promote, and improve health and care for all, therefore evaluation against the Quintuple Aim connects local outcomes with the wider health policy context. This approach enables individuals and teams at every level of the system to look at care through a defined lens and use that to drive their decision making to achieve common goals.
