It is to meet the challenge of preparing future nurses who will have the knowledge, skills and attitudes (KSAs) necessary to continuously improve the quality and safety of the healthcare systems within which they work.

Being able to understand how QSEN relates to care coordination and management of care is essential to quality and safety.
