NU 665 Quality & Safety in Practice
During this course, students will proceed in a step-by-step progression through the continuous quality improvement (CQI) process. This approach prepares students with the necessary skills to complete a CQI capstone project in the practicum courses. The student will review the historical background and theory of quality improvement and apply it to the current healthcare environment. After a review of the national and regulatory issues of patient safety, the student will identify one issue to use in the course to apply CQI methodology.
