Nurses play a vital role in improving the safety and quality of patient care—not only in the hospital or ambulatory treatment facility, but also of community-based care and the care performed by family members. Nurses need to know what proven techniques and interventions they can use to enhance patient outcomes.
To address this need, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has prepared a comprehensive online handbook--Patient Safety and Quality: An Evidence-Based Handbook for Nurses. (AHRQ Publication No. 08-0043).
Experts in the field reviewed the literature, and their contributions are grouped into sections. Click to see sections.
