Class,
All healthcare professionals, including nurses, must be actively involved in the continuous improvement of patient care. Quality improvement provides an opportunity to improve patient care at the unit level. Most of these improvements concentrate energies on factors that are most important to patient quality and safety. Proactive management of quality supports continuous improvement of patient care.
What improvement method has been initiated at your facility? What data was gathered? How was this done? What outcomes were measured and how was change implemented to improve the quality of care and patient outcomes?
Thanks,
Desirae
