    Abstract

    The case for and against the measurement of care is explored by four nursing academics. Supporters of the idea say measurement is essential so that nurses can benchmark improvements and gain a better insight into the quality of care. Their opponents say caring is a 'moral art' or so 'irredeemably vague' it is futile to try measuring it.
