Enhancing Nursing Practice through Quality, Safety, and Interprofessional Partnerships
Scenario: You are an advanced practice nurse working with patients. You are training new nurses and nurse practitioners on quality, safety, and interprofessional partnerships.
Write a 2-3 APA page (not including title page and reference pages) paper focusing on the importance of Essentials 5 and 6 and QSEN Safety and Quality Improvement for nursing practice. Answer the following questions in your paper:
Why are quality and safety important enough to be considered Essentials AND a QSEN module?
How do these Essentials have an impact on patient care? Why should we still have to emphasize “safety” in advanced practice nursing?
How are the two Essentials (5 & 6) linked? Do poor interprofessional partnerships affect patient safety?
What will be your role in ensuring that these competencies are incorporated into clinical practice and/or upheld by the staff? What can you do to ensure that your staff stays updated on competencies?
