Effective organizational and systems leadership for quality improvement and systems thinking is vital to improve healthcare outcomes. DNP-prepared nurses must possess requisite knowledge and skills for the development, implementation, evaluation, and dissemination of projects and their continuous management. This course will provide the learner with essential project management skills, including the ability to assess organizations, identify systems issues or innovative opportunities, and facilitate organization-wide changes in practice delivery. Real-world exemplars and activities help lay the foundational for successful project planning and management, as well as the use of clinical needs assessments and logic models to shape projects.
