Write an executive summary, 4 pages in length, of existing
outcome measures related to a performance issue uncovered
in your gap analysis that you intend to address.
Introduction
As a nurse leader, you must be able to access, identify, and
describe outcome measures as they relate to safety and
quality problems in your organization.
This assessment provides an opportunity to examine existing
outcome measures, assess their strategic value, and present
your findings to executive leaders in a manner that will help
you gain their support.
Quality and safety are everyone’s responsibility as a team of
interprofessional care delivery partners. Together we develop
policies that support quality and safe care delivery. As part of
the interprofessional team, nurses are care leaders and thus
are responsible and accountable for leading and providing
safe quality care.
Health care delivery is structured around evidence-based
information. Quality is defined by exploring proven, evidencebased information. After reviewing and defining evidencedbased information, the interprofessional team applies this
knowledge to assess the organization’s or the practice
setting’s ability to provide evidence-based care delivery. When
a gap in care is identified, it is important to propose an
evidenced-based change and to execute a plan for improved
care.
Your summary of relevant outcome measures is based on
your findings from the quality and safety gap analysis you
completed in the previous assessment.
