A system for surveying nursing quality of nursing units at multiple healthcare facilities via a network includes a first Web client, a second Web client, a third Web client, a database, and a Web server. A staff member of a first nursing unit of a first healthcare facility is prompted for a type of data relating to a nursing quality indicator via the first Web client. A staff member at a second nursing unit of a second healthcare facility is prompted for the same type of data via the second Web client. Data elements are transmitted to a Web server and stored in a database. If the first nursing unit and the second nursing unit are of the same type, the data elements are compared. Results from the comparison are listed based on unit type and healthcare facility. Results are transmitted from the Web server to a third client for display.
