Nurses are crucial to improving quality and safety standards because they are the largest group of healthcare professionals (Glassman, 2017). Nurses care for patients and are responsible for identifying issues and implementing and adjusting care for each patient 24 hours a day (Mancieria et al., 2017). The growing use of electronic health records (EHR) has proven very helpful in monitoring and analyzing data (Mancieria et al., 2017). Not only is the EHR vital for improving patient outcomes, but it also shows the impact of nursing care on patients (Mancieria et al., 2017).

Mandatory overtime, implementation of staffing ratios, use of unlicensed assisting personnel, and employer reductions of education benefits are examples of practices that might lead to conflicting needs in practice.

Leaders can contribute to both the problem and the solution through policies, action, and inaction. In this Assignment, you will further develop the white paper you began work on in Module 1 by addressing competing needs within your organization.
