Evaluation of Quality in Health Care for DNPs: A Practical Guide for Health Care Professionals, Third Edition edited by Joanne V. Hickey and Eileen R. Giardino is the only advanced practice nursing text to present effective, systematic, and in-depth evaluations of all aspects of healthcare quality. Published by Springer Publishing Company, this award-winning resource is the essential reference for Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) students and graduates, APNs, and healthcare quality professionals.
Comprehensive in scope, this authoritative text distills best practice information from numerous sources to facilitate the highest level of competency for APN and DNP graduates entering quality-focused leadership and clinical roles. The Third Edition keeps pace with the rapidly evolving healthcare market by presenting a more comprehensive range of evaluation strategies for analyzing quality, safety, and value across healthcare practice and programs — including a completely new chapter on evaluation of simulation programs to improve clinician competency and patient care technology.
An increased focus on quality improvement (QI) is woven throughout, including the quality improvement–research continuum and an emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration and teamwork. New case studies, specific examples from a variety of QI projects, and content designed to improve teamwork add significant practical value. The text also explores the theoretical basis of evaluation and its application as an integral part of contemporary healthcare practice, including evaluation models that enable nurses to address economic and outcomes-based considerations.
Essential for DNP programs, MSN leadership tracks, and healthcare quality professionals pursuing ANCC certification, Magnet recognition, or quality improvement leadership roles. Topics include: healthcare quality frameworks, patient safety evaluation, program evaluation, outcomes measurement, interprofessional collaboration, simulation evaluation, and the DNP role in quality leadership.
