The Institute of Medicine (IOM) has described five core competencies required of health professionals to improve professional practice and patient outcomes (IOM, 2003). Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) has expanded these to include knowledge, skills and attitudes (KSAs) that nurses demonstrate in six areas (Cronenwett, et al., 2007):
Patient-Centered Care
Teamwork and Collaboration
Evidence-based Practice
Quality Improvement
Informatics
Safety (added by QSEN)****
