Enhancing leadership skills, being a positive change agent, education upgradation and being an Evidence Based Practice (EBP) cheerleader abilities are required for nurses to become an empowered professional to render quality care. The empowered team influences staff morale, productivity, staff retention and associated costs, patient care quality, and patient safety. The nurse's empowerment and patient quality care are both the sides of same coin. Quality improvement is an organised process that assesses and evaluates health services to improve practice or quality of care. Nursing empowerment means the ability to effectively motivate and mobilize self and others to accomplish positive outcomes in nursing practice and work environment.

Empowerment, in contrast, it is authority purposefully shared with others. Nursing leaders, in employment settings or in professional organizations, exercise power in making professional judgements in their day to day activities.


In the era of consumerism, quality of care is inevitable regardless of the health care setting.
