The main focus is on developing student’s nursing competencies proposed by the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) model. The course will address specific knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSAs) of QSEN nursing competencies to promote quality and safety in healthcare. Students are exposed to the six QSEN nursing competencies of patient-centered care, teamwork and collaboration, evidence-based practice (EBP), quality improvement (QI), safety, and informatics in the context of various patients/populations problems and settings. A key focus of the course will highlight the role of the professional nurse in utilizing evidenced-based improvement science methodologies to support a safety culture that embraces opportunities to improve health care delivery processes and health care outcomes. At the completion of this course, students will employ ethical principles that minimize the risk of harm to patients, staff, and providers.
