Answer this prompt based on the notes provided as an attachment. The purpose of this activity is to appraise the role of nursing in creating a safe patient environment through nursing led interventions. As the largest health system workforce in the world, nurses are the single most significant contributors to patient safety and outcomes. Literature suggests that quality of care depends to a large degree on nurses (Kane et al., 2007; Lacey and Cox, 2009; Landon et al., 2006; Sales et al., 2008). The Joint Commission, the leading independent accrediting body for health care organizations, believes that “the future state of nursing is inextricably linked to the strides in patient care quality and safety that are critical to the success of America’s health care system, today and tomorrow” (Joint Commission, 2010). While quality measures have historically focused on conditions or diseases, many of the quality measures used over the past 20+ years address how well nurses are able to do their jobs.
The role of the professional nurse has many facets. This activity will provide the opportunity for you to appraise a patient safety concern and the role of the nurse as a leader in creating change.
