Samenvatting	The Barthel Index (BI) is one of the most widely used functional assessment tools measuring independence in activities of daily living. Developed by Florence I. Mahoney and Dorothea W. Barthel in 1965, the Barthel Index evaluates a patient's ability to perform ten essential self-care and mobility activities. Its longevity and widespread adoption across rehabilitation, geriatric, and acute care settings reflect its reliability, simplicity, and clinical utility for assessing functional status and predicting rehabilitation outcomes.	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.
