Chair: Kory Scheideman
The Quality, Safety, and Injury Prevention (QSIP) Committee of the Colorado Emergency Nurses Association (COENA) is dedicated to enhancing the quality of care, safety, and injury prevention for both emergency nurses and the communities they serve. We aim to provide targeted education, practical tools, and valuable resources to address critical emergency care and injury prevention issues.
Our mission is to advance the knowledge and skills of emergency nurses and empower the community through evidence-based practices and innovative educational initiatives. We strive to improve patient outcomes and promote safety through proactive harm reduction strategies, effective education, and collaborative efforts.
Through our work, we aim to equip emergency nurses with the necessary tools and knowledge to handle challenging situations effectively, reduce injury rates, and improve overall patient and community safety. By addressing critical issues and providing valuable education, we contribute to a safer, more informed community, ensuring better outcomes for those we serve.
We welcome dedicated professionals and community members to join our committee to make a meaningful impact on quality, safety, and injury prevention. Together, we can advance our mission and support a safer, healthier community.
