Session on Quality improvement and patient safety initiatives in nursing

Quality improvement and patient safety initiatives are critical components of nursing practice, aimed at enhancing the quality of care and promoting patient safety. These initiatives involve systematic approaches to identifying areas for improvement, developing targeted interventions, and measuring outcomes. Quality improvement initiatives may focus on reducing healthcare-associated infections, improving medication safety, or enhancing patient satisfaction. Patient safety initiatives may include the implementation of protocols to prevent falls or the use of checklists to ensure that procedures are performed safely and correctly. By embracing quality improvement and patient safety initiatives, nurses can continuously improve the quality of care, reduce medical errors, and enhance patient outcomes.
