Veterans Administration primary care nurses perform activities that are often uncaptured, leading to these nurses not receiving credit for their work. These activities also are difficult to quantify or capture within the electronic health record (EHR). This session shares how a quality improvement effort was initiated by the Veterans Health Administration National Office of Primary Care to develop a standardized process to accurately measure primary care nurse activities in the EHR.
