Relating on how the organization's quality improvement processes support and contribute to its overall journey to excellence

The organization is heading in the right path towards the journey to success. In this case, success simply implies to how far the program has achieved the organizational long-term and short-term goals towards risk management and quality improvement ((Brulin & Svensson, 2016). To begin with, after the risk assessment program in the organization was implemented, the number of registered nurses increased, and instances, as well as cases of unsafe conditions, declined considerably. This achievement is a step towards excellence in our journey to success. However, not all the threat and risks have been eliminated so far. Therefore, there is the need for more adjustments and evaluation of current practices and, more importantly, efforts and handwork is expected from all stakeholders involved in managing the risk of nursing shortage in the hospital.   

Overall, all healthcare organizations need to develop and improved risk management as a strategy to enhance safety in their facilities. By doing so, the healthcare organizations will eliminate medical errors and mistakes due to understaffing. If the major players in the risk management program uphold the rules and regulations, the outcome of the care offered will improve. Last, the healthcare agencies need to support risk management programs by offering moral assistance and providing financial assistance to train more nursing practitioners to solve the issue of a nursing shortage.
