REFLECTION: QUALITY INITIATIVE
Introduction
Quality of health care facility is one of the most important factors. It can be seen that the
process of the health care quality measurement is dependent on different aspects and also the
measurement should be considered as one of the most important aspect as well. Thus, it can be
found that the advance practice nurse plays a crucial role in the health care delivery process for
the patient. Now, it can be found that the process of the health care quality measurement is
complex and focus on the financial aspect of the care facility, location of the facility and also the
health outcome of the patients of the facility. Hence, it can be found that the cost and the access
of the health care are the factors that can impact over the quality of the health care setting as
well. In this context, in the following section I reflect on the aspects of the health care quality
measurement and the evaluation and role development of the advance practice nurse.
Reflection
Quality measurement of a health care facility should be considered with priority for the
improvement of the care quality of the facility as well. In this context I can find that the advance
practice nurses are the professionals who should expect the quality measurement as one of the
basic duties. It has been seen that the advance practice nurse is responsible for the effective care
delivery to the patients with critical or severe health issues and also positively focusing on the
health care quality improvement. I can find that the role of the advance practice nurse is also
focused on the improvement of the health care quality through actively achieving the triple aim
of care experience. The triple aim is improving population health, enhancing care quality and
patient satisfaction and reducing per capita health care cost (Joel, 2018).

Thus, it can be stated that the process of the health care quality improvement by
achieving the customer satisfaction and also improving the health care participation of the
advance practice nurse. Hence, I can also state that the role of the advance practice nurse in the
quality measurement is to improve the care procedures and also effectively plan the regular
quality measurement processes for the health care facility. Thus, it can also be found that the
process of the health care quality improvement is to deliver safe care and focusing on the needs
of the patient and also delivering evidence based practice. I also find that the process of the
health care should be focused on the care standards in order to provide safe care to the patients.
Thus, the advance practice nurse should evaluate the quality of the care procedures and also
provide improved care to the patients.
Hence, the factor of the evaluation is very much important as the evaluation can
determine the aspects of the improvement and the positive aspects of the health care. Moreover,
it can be found that the process of the quality measurement in terms of the evaluation of the care
facility leads to the role development of the advance practice nurse. In this context, it can be
stated that the process of the care delivery and the improvement of the care process should be
focused on the improvement of the health outcome of the patients. It has been seen that the
process of the quality measurement of the health care can be conducted with the health care
record assessment, interview of the patients, interview of the staffs, manual audit or automated
audit (Chakraborty & Kaynak, 2018). Hence, it can be stated that the process of the quality
measurement is dependent on the cost of the process and also effective analysis. Based on this
analysis the determination of the improvement related factors should be considered.
Hence, it can be stated that the safety measurement of the patients should be considered
with highest priority. Moreover, I can find that the role of the advance practice nurse is also
