The following trademark language and disclaimer should have been included in the journal's July NCPD article: The National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators(R) (NDNQI(R)) is a registered trademark of Press Ganey Associates, Inc. Press Ganey Associates, Inc. specifically disclaims responsibility for any analyses, interpretations, or conclusions.
Further, the authors refer to "the NDNQI prevalence and incidence study." At this time, NDNQI(R) does not offer an incidence indicator specific to pressure injuries.
The authors also note that "Hospitals conduct NDNQI prevalence and incidence studies quarterly." However, this is not accurate; NDNQI(R) member organizations may submit prevalence data either monthly or quarterly at the organization's discretion.
Finally, NDNQI(R) offers all clients the ability to use an Excel upload option for the majority of indicators including the Pressure Injury Prevalence Study, which was not clearly stated in the article.
The publisher regrets these errors.
