The DNP-Prepared Nurse and Patient Safety: Leading Compliance with the Hospital-Acquired Condition (HAC) Reduction Program

 

In the contemporary healthcare landscape, the role of the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP)-prepared nurse is pivotal in ensuring patient safety and quality care. This advanced practice role transcends traditional bedside nursing, encompassing leadership, systems-level thinking, and evidence-based practice. One specific measure that profoundly impacts both nursing and systems practice is the Hospital-Acquired Condition (HAC) Reduction Program, a value-based purchasing program mandated by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). This program incentivizes hospitals to reduce the prevalence of preventable conditions that patients acquire during their hospital stay, directly linking quality of care to financial reimbursement. As a DNP-prepared nurse, my role is to lead compliance with this regulation, utilizing my expertise to mobilize the healthcare team and drive systemic change.
