Quality Improvement & Safety Processes Healthcare

In this minor you'll focus on systems thinking, the science of patient safety, patient-centered care, team-based collaboration, and quality improvement. Our faculty will mentor you in how to implement process improvement tools, and we'll give you the opportunity to do a quality improvement project within a healthcare organization.  This three-course minor can be done simultaneously with any graduate clinical program, and prepares advanced practice nurses to implement quality improvement processes and measure resultant outcomes.
