Quality, research and ritual in nursing

Abstract
The purchaser/provider system has brought the dynamic association between quality, volume and cost into clear focus. Any consideration of this tri-partite relationship is incomplete, however, unless the additional dimensions of research and ritual are also included. This article analyses how the monitoring systems now in place offer nurses a unique opportunity to drive for the replacement of ritualised practice by research-based practice.
