The purpose of the Nursing Quality Council is to review house‐wide quality data and share unit‐based quality improvement projects. As chair of the council, my role was to support staff nurses working on quality improvement projects by helping to provide data, research evidence, and other resources needed. Working with patients directly at the bedside gives staff nurses a unique insight on what positively affects quality of care. Having staff nurses involved in quality and safety improvement is vital, as it not only broadens the staff nurse's knowledge related to performance data, but also empowers them to offer their perspective on improvement projects that will directly affect patient care.
