The discussion for this week will focus on the relationship between the threat of malpractice and quality improvement efforts.
In your initial post, respond to the following prompts:
• Describe how the threat of malpractice promotes or inhibits quality improvement efforts in your clinical setting/specialty.
• Identify some risk management/mitigation strategies that could be implemented to improve quality and reduce patient harm/errors.
• Identify challenges, beyond cost, that could potentially affect the sustainability of your DNP Project. Consider factors such as policies, finances, and regulatory principles.
