Abstract

The Quality Strategy aims are interdependent and rely on a set of six priorities. (See Table 1.) Nurses are very familiar with the priorities that focus on safer care delivery without harm, patient and family engagement in care, and effective communication and increased care coordination. It's time we turn more attention to attacking the leading causes of mortality, enabling healthy living in our communities and creating new delivery models for more affordable, accessible, and equitable care. These actions lead to healthier populations.
