Clinical Integration of QSEN Competencies, Knowledge, Skills, and Attitudes for Clinical Instructors and Preceptors in Operating Rooms
Francesca Logterman
University Hospitals Case Medical Center
Objectives Upon completion of the educational
offering the nurse preceptor will be able to: Describe the 6 core competencies of Quality
Safety and Education in Nursing (QSEN) List one learning objective (knowledge, skill or
attitude) for each of the 6 rubrics The preceptor will score a minimum of 80% on
the post test
OR Nurse Today Is expected to be:
An expert clinician A patient advocate Competent with informatics and technology A Problem-solver An Educator
Sweeney, 2010
QSEN Project funded by Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation to improve quality and safety education of nurses
Identifies the core knowledge, skills, and attitudes that should be mastered by pre licensure nursing students
Identification of competencies in nursing that correlates with other healthcare professionals.
Reflects the call to action of the 2003 Institute of Medicine Report: Health Professions Education: A Bridge to Quality ( Read Intro 19-28)
QSEN Phases Phase 1: 2005-2007: Identified the six QSEN competencies
Phase 2: 2007-2008: Developed, tested, and disseminated
teaching strategies in fifteen schools of nursing
Phase 3: 2008-2012: Developed and evaluated innovative
methods of assessment of student learning and advancement of
faculty expertise
Phase 4: 2012-Present: Focused on faculty development and
delivery of graduate QSEN competencies
Barnstiener et al., 2012
Level of Competency Beginner:
Embedding quality and safety in beginning nursing and clinical assignments
Freshman and Sophomore Students Intermediate:
Emphasis on system thinking and specialty populations(Reinforcement of beginner competencies) Pediatrics Obstetrics Operating Rooms
Junior Students
Level of Competency Advanced
Advanced courses designed to transition student to practitioner
Emphasis on Quality and Safety Senior Students
QSEN competencies need to be threaded throughout the students curriculum beginning freshman year
Continuum Acquisition Knowledge, Skills, Attitude (KSAs)

Why Do We Need QSEN?
Identification of KSAs nurses need to provide safe,
quality care
A common language and core competencies
Uniform goals for environmental, educational, and
cultural initiatives
Components of quality and safety integrated into nursing
school curriculum
Cronenwett et al., 2007
QSEN and Safety QSEN provides students with tools related to
patient safety and decreasing errors in healthcare Involvement in patient care and real life scenarios or
simulated experiences gives students opportunities to ‘practice and rehearse’ (Siebert, 2014, p. 233)
Nurse educators must provide students with learning activities
Utilize systems thinking Simulate safe practice Develop a safety conscious in systems and processes
through specific learning activities

Intermediate Competencies and KSAs Emphasis is on teams and systems Students have a lack of exposure to teamwork
and collaboration Look for ways to improve team membership and
communication Assume role of team member or leader
Students need increased exposure to safety and quality improvement initiatives to evaluate impact of interventions and patient outcomes
Barton et al., 2009
Patient Centered Care Focus on culture and diversity Principles of communication Physical comfort/pain management Emotional support Eliciting and incorporating patient preferences and values in
plan of care Shared decision making Developing expertise in managing conflict Safe medication administration Safe handoffs, timeouts, pre procedure verification
Cronenwett et al., 2007
Teamwork and Collaboration Team membership and communication skills Conflict resolution Team competence Self awareness of strengths and limitations as team member Respect for differing views Knowledge of roles, accountability, and scope of practice Description of factors that enhance or deter communication Identification of factors and systems that enhance teamwork Identification of system support or hindrance of teamwork Identification of risks and benefits of handoffs
Cronenwett et al., 2007
Evidence Based Practice Understanding and recognition of scientific process and
method Recognition of difference between clinical opinion and
scientific evidence Involvement of patient preferences and values Adherence to Internal Review Board protocols Identication of clinical practice deviations from evidence
based practices Acknowledgement of limitations of knowledge and clinical
expertise Identication professional practice guidelines and standards
