Description
One way informatics can be especially valuable is in capturing data to support quality improvements in practice. Nurse leaders play a pivotal role in leading and managing quality initiatives that impact patient outcomes, safety, and health care organizations’ compliance with regulatory agencies. For this assignment, you will locate 1-2 quality measures and determine how that measure will be incorporated in nursing and provider documentation. You will formulate requirements and a plan for collecting and reporting the data. You will also reflect on how you would lead and manage such a project.
In a paper of 1,500-1,750 words, address the following:
- Identify the selected quality measure(s).
- Describe your plan for collecting the data related to the measure. What key information/fields would be needed in the database for you to capture the needed data? How would this data be mapped to the quality measure(s)?
- What role would the advanced registered nurse play in ensuring the correct data is captured? Which additional systems and staff members would need to be involved in the design and implementation process and team?
- What professional, ethical, and regulatory standards must be incorporated into the design and implementation of the plan?
- How would you communicate any necessary changes related to your plan to any affected stakeholders?
- Describe the leadership skills and project management knowledge you would employ to successfully collaborate with the interprofessional team in this scenario to ensure your facility is providing evidence-based care to its patients?
You are required to cite 5-10 sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the last five years and appropriate for the assignment criteria and nursing content.

Introduction
The collection of patient and health data for quality improvement can be achieved
through common participation by nurses and society included. The nurses can organize data
collection exercises where society can take part in offering genuine and true information. The
application of informatics skills and knowledge can be applied to ensure the obtained results
from the analysis can be beneficial to society and improve healthcare provision. Among the
goals set by improving the quality of services offered by nurses include safety, health care, and
patient outcomes. Several cases brought to the attention of healthcare providers require positive
results that need to be reflected by the outcome of patients after visiting healthcare institutions.
The paper will locate and feature quality measures determined to make positive changes in the
provision of healthcare services. Under the technology era, the use of informatics has shown a
great contribution to the analysis and collection of data for the purposes of improving the quality
of healthcare providers such as advanced registered nurses.
Quality Measures
Also known as performance measures. The qualities of nursing originate from residents
that issue the required data through various collection methods such as questionnaires and
personal interviews (Johnson, & Sollecito, 2018). Due to the changing times, the data collection
exercise can be scheduled to be done on a regular basis where current issues can be factored into
the system and where solutions have already been found, to be phased out from the research
exercise as nurses concentrate on major and disturbing issues. The objectives of the quality
measures in nursing include the assessment of the physical environment of residents, checking

on the clinical conditions, life care wishes, and preferences when seeking medical services. The
quality measures to be taken can be structural, process, or outcome. Structural measures are
concerned about the infrastructure and other features within a healthcare facility that is relevant
to the services offered. It must be understood that not al...
