This study examines individual and system application of the QSEN competencies and the Infusion Nurses Society’s 2016 Infusion Therapy Standards of Practice in the improvement of patient outcomes” Sherwood and Nickel (2017).

Abstract:

Despite intense scrutiny and process improvement initiatives, patient harm continues to occur in health care with alarming frequency. The Quality and Safety Education for Nursing (QSEN) project provides a roadmap to transform nursing by integrating 6 competencies: patient-centered care, teamwork and collaboration, evidence-based practice, quality improvement, safety, and informatics. As front-line caregivers, nurses encounter inherent risks in their daily work. Infusion therapy is high risk with multiple potential risks for patient harm. This study examines individual and system application of the QSEN competencies and the Infusion Nurses Society’s 2016 Infusion Therapy Standards of Practice in the improvement of patient outcomes.
