Synopsis

Designed to support current standards and goals for health care, Supporting Effective Quality Care in Public and Community Health provides readers with an examination of continuous quality improvement and its integration into public and community health organizations, services, and programs. The text underscores the idea that continuous quality improvement activities must consider social determinants of health, equity, diversity, disparities, and vulnerable populations.

The book introduces a quality healthcare framework and concepts applied to public and community health, including the National Quality Strategy; the Healthy People 2030 report; national healthcare safety; performance management; community assessment; and more. Readers learn about the relationship between social determinants of health and the implementation of quality health care. Challenges and methods, as well as the roles and responsibilities of healthcare organizations and providers in public and community health, are covered to help nurses better understand the ways in which they can create a culture of safety, implement public health evaluation programs in their work, and successfully advocate for patients.

Supporting Effective Quality Care in Public and Community Health is part of the Cognella Series on Public and Community Health Nursing, a collection of concise, informative guides that explore critical topical areas, their nursing application, and their relationship to nursing practice.
