Answer 2 for NURS 8310 Discussion 1 Quality and Safety in Healthcare and Nursing Practice 

This is insightful. The provision of quality healthcare services is essential for the healthcare organizations or providers who want to transition from the traditional approaches. Adherence to the quality healthcare delivery processes require improvement in processes and elimination of challenges or problems associated with the treatment processes and general care (Kuriakose et al., 2020). The main objective of improving the quality of healthcare services is to ensure patient safety and to reduce cost of healthcare services. DNP prepared nurses have the advanced knowledge on the approaches that can be undertaken to enhance quality outcomes in the healthcare processes (Lark et al., 2018). The DNP prepared nurse is able to make very valuable contributions to the nursing practice and delivery of health care by way of the advanced training and education that the DNP education affords. DNP prepared nurses have research and evidence-based practice skills that can be applied to enhance educational programs and changes required to enhance the delivery of quality care (Beeber et al., 2019).
