THIS ASSESSMENT PIGGY BACKS OFF ASSESSMENT #1 IN ATTACHED FILES, PLEASE ADDRESS SAME POPULATION PROBLEM
Organizational data, such as readmission rates, hospital-acquired infections, falls, medication errors, staff satisfaction, serious safety events, and patient experience can be used to prioritize time, resources, and finances. Health care organizations and government agencies use benchmark data to compare the quality of organizational services and report the status of patient safety. Professional nurses are key to comprehensive data collection, reporting, and monitoring of metrics to improve quality and patient safety.
