and nurse sensitive indicators to maintain standards of clinical nursing
practice and safety consistent with evidence-based practice and requirements
of regulatory agencies.

across the continuum of care transition, by completing Mediation Reconciliation
audits and dissemination of results.
- Contribute to the organizational strategic plan goal to improve the delivery
of care related to nursing quality and safety by developing, revising
and/or reviewing policies related to quality and safety.
- Monitor and evaluate compliance with CMS Conditions of Participation (COPs)
related to nursing and safe environment of care by completing Medication
Management & CAUTI audits and dissemination of results.
