Tiivistelmä	Nursing-Sensitive Indicators are quality metrics that measure healthcare outcomes significantly influenced by nursing care. Developed by the American Nurses Association (ANA) and maintained through the National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators (NDNQI), these indicators assess hospital-acquired complications, staffing levels, nurse-sensitive outcomes, and other dimensions of care quality. They serve as benchmarking tools for evaluating nursing practice effectiveness and organizational performance.	The Nine Equivalents of Nursing Manpower Use Score (NEMS) is a validated assessment instrument specifically designed to quantify nursing workload in intensive care unit (ICU) settings. Developed by Miranda, Moreno, and Iapichino, NEMS measures the intensity of nursing care required based on therapeutic interventions and patient monitoring activities. Unlike severity of illness scores that focus on mortality risk, NEMS directly measures the nursing effort expended, making it particularly useful for ICU staffing decisions and workload documentation.
