Presentation to a Quality Improvement Team (5 min)
How can you use research to develop evidence-based approaches to patient care? How can research findings be used to improve the quality of services provided at a healthcare facility?
As healthcare continues to evolve, nurses play a critical role in applying clinical research to evidence-based practice and quality improvement in nursing. By leveraging clinical research, nurses can identify gaps in their practice, develop strategies to improve patient outcomes and enhance the overall quality of care. This involves critically evaluating existing research, identifying best practices, and developing proposals for improvement in quality and safety of patient care.
For this Assignment, you apply clinical research to evidence-based practice and quality improvement in nursing and develop proposals for improvement in quality and safety of patient care in nursing practice.
