NSG 6620 Week 9 Discussion 2: Quality of Care

There are many variables influencing the definition of quality of care. For example, patients and their families may perceive quality in one way and the healthcare provider may perceive quality of care in a much different manner. In assessing quality of care, the nurse leader must create a culture of quality through the structures, processes, and outcomes in the healthcare organization. It is only through commitment and the creation of a culture of quality and safety that healthcare organizations in the twenty-first century can succeed and excel.
