Abstract
Abstract: As a consistent 24-hour presence in hospitals, nurses play a pivotal role in ensuring the quality and safety (Q&S) of patient care. However, a comprehensive review of evidence-based recommendations to guide nursing interventions that enhance the Q&S of patient care is lacking. Therefore, the purpose of our systematic review was to create evidence-based recommendations for the Q&S component of a nursing professional practice model for military hospitals. To accomplish this, a triservice military nursing team used Covidence software to conduct a systematic review of the literature across five databases. Two hundred forty-nine articles met inclusion criteria. From these articles, we created 94 recommendations for practice and identified eight focus areas from the literature: (1) communication; (2) adverse events; (3) leadership; (4) patient experience; (5) quality improvement; (6) safety culture/committees; (7) staffing/workload/work environment; and (8) technology/electronic health record. These findings provide suggestions for implementing Q&S practices that could be adapted to many healthcare delivery systems.
