1. Patient Education: Educating patients about their conditions and self-care practices can prevent complications and readmissions. 2. Efficient Documentation: Accurate and timely documentation can prevent errors and reduce the need for corrective actions. 3. Advocating for Evidence-Based Practices: Utilizing evidence-based practices ensures that the most cost-effective treatments are used. 4. Participating in Quality Improvement Projects: Nurses can be involved in projects aimed at improving care processes and reducing inefficiencies.
