The full effect of the QSEN competencies to improve the quality and safety of care can only be realized when nurses apply them at both the individual and system levels of care.
The table below provides a display of how the six QSEN domains are linked to optimal patient care through both vigilant individual care and vigilant systems of care.
Traditionally, nurses have focused primarily on vigilant individual care; less attention has been given to assisting nurses to provide vigilant systems of care.
Nurses’ abilities to engage in better problem-solving, priority setting, delegation, interactions and collaborations, decision making, and action-taking are greatly influenced by their ability to view how any one component of their work system is related to other components and to the whole.
