Over time the health care industry has become more complex. Health care is rapidly evolving and continuing to complicate our delivery of care, which in turn has the same effect on quality of care. This steady evolution and change results in nursing shortages and an increase in the prevalence of errors being made. In hopes of preventing these errors and creating safe and high quality patient care, with the focus on new and improved ways of thinking, The Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) initiative was developed. The QSEN focuses on the following competencies: patient-centered care, quality improvement, safety, and teamwork and collaboration. Their initiatives work to prepare and develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that are necessary to make improvements in the quality and safety of health care systems (Qsen.org, 2014).

Through the years, this once small 85 bed community hospital has grown to become a regional medical center and a teaching hospital. MCHS is proud of the patient and family centered care extended to all age groups with each encounter. When you come to MCHS, whether as a patient or a visitor, the employees will provide a friendly, safe, and caring service in an environment that is supported by our vision to be recognized as the premier health system in the Permian Basin.

have been to some of the Valley Health System hospitals a few times, and there has not been a time where I've left their hospital unsatisfied with the care I have received. I cannot say the same for some of the other hospitals I've been to. I would prefer Summerlin Hospital out of all the Valley health system hospitals because it has a pediatric emergency room unit, a pediatric intensive care unit, a maternity unit, and a cardiology unit, which I am interested in exploring in the near future. I agree with Summerlin Hospitals values, which are set around providing the patient with exceptional care while respecting their dignity and emotional well-being as well as helping their families instead of only focusing on the patient while putting aside
Well, the sitting on 4 acres the hospital encompasses Ronald Regan UCLA Medical center, Stewart and Lynda Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital at UCLA and Mattel Children’s Hospital UCLA. Some key features I found extremely helpful is their organization. Every floor of Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center is devoted to a specific specialty and equipped with all of the essential support equipment and supplies. Every floor has its own satellite pharmacy, dialysis storage, respiratory therapy workrooms, and resident doctor sleep rooms. Additionally; each patient room has the ability to convert into an intensive care unit (ICU) to allow for the continuous care of a critically ill patient in one room. This makes caring for patients extremely easy as everything they need is made available to them at the exact moment of a potential emergency. (Ronald Regan UCLA Medical Center, 2013)
