This unit of study pursues a critical analysis of the theoretical constructs and practical applications underpinning nursing professional standards, regulation, clinical governance and accreditation in health care organisations and nursing practice. Many factors influence a culture of safety and quality in the clinical environment across domains of organisational safety, teamwork, management accountability and consumer involvement. These factors and how they can impact patient care and quality improvement initiatives will be examined in this unit of study utilising a better practice (quality/continuity of care/health outcomes/governance) framework.
