In the fast-paced and high-stakes field of nursing, quality and safety are paramount. Nurses play a critical role in improving the quality of care and ensuring the safety of patients. That’s why the book “Quality and Safety in Nursing” holds such significance.

Written by Gwen Sherwood and Jane Barnsteiner, “Quality and Safety in Nursing” was first published in 2012. It was the pioneering resource to explore the nursing community’s contribution to enhancing care quality and patient safety. Now, in its third edition, this comprehensive guide remains essential reading for anyone involved in preparing current and future nurses to deliver exceptional care.

The third edition of “Quality and Safety in Nursing” begins by providing an overview of the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) initiative. The book traces its origins to the “Future of Nursing” report published in 2010. It then delves into the six QSEN competencies: patient-centered care, teamwork and collaboration, evidence-based practice, quality improvement, safety, and informatics. The content also integrates the 2020-2030 Future of Nursing recommendations and the 2021 AACN Essentials for Education competencies. Moreover, the text presents teaching and clinical application strategies, offering guidance on building and implementing a culture of quality and safety across various healthcare settings.

What sets this edition apart is its focus on interactive and immersive learning. Sherwood and Barnsteiner have integrated QSEN competencies into simulations and introduced new instructional and practice approaches. The chapters have undergone a redesign to reimagine traditional classroom and clinical learning. Reflective practices and inter-professional teamwork take center stage, transforming education and practice. Real-world case studies and personal accounts bring key principles to life, helping readers understand their application in practice.

The book also addresses emerging issues and acknowledges the evolving landscape of healthcare. It includes new and expanded content on assessment and evaluation, transition to practice, leadership and management, and primary, outpatient, and ambulatory care. Additionally, it engages in a discussion of future research directions and global perspectives on quality and safety.
