Appraising Qualitative Research – Self-Assessment of Program Learning Outcomes

• Identify the role of the professional nurse within the global healthcare delivery system
• Use inter-and-intraprofessional communication and collaboration skills to optimize patient outcomes

• Apply quality improvement methods to implement safety initiatives and patient outcomes effectively

As a professional nurse, I have endeavored to involve in the development and implementation of global health policies focused on improving patient care. While realizing the multiplicity of health issues, it has been possible to lobby for global health prioritization as a major concern through global health diplomacy. According to Reeves et al. (2017), inter-professional collaboration focusses on achieving great team performance as part of an approach towards achieving positive global health outcomes. Besides, I have focused on improving my approach to patient care to recognize the need to advance my communication and collaboration skills in enhancing positive health outcomes. My placement has offered an opportunity to establish a culture of safety and commitment to continuous improvement as a quality improvement method aimed at enhancing patient care.

Historic nursing leaders have set the current nursing pace in advancing patients’ rights while pursuing evidence-based standard practices to achieve appropriate nursing care. As a professional nurse, I have focused on pursuing evidence-based practice, including upholding human dignity and patient’s integrity as part of the growing need for aligning with the previous theoretical underpinnings. Additionally, I have focused on advocating for implementing ethical principles and social justice as part of the overall goal of attaining positive global health outcomes. While recognizing the global need for sharing information in the nursing field, I have focused on developing a collaborative approach and framework to knowledge translation and implementing quality improvement programs across the healthcare environments.
