note = "Funding Information: Only 2 years ago, the first set of quality and safety competencies for baccalaureate education were published in Nursing Outlook. In her editorial, Marla Salmon 1 challenged us to honor and, at the same time, look beyond our traditional perspectives to drive the quality and safety movement in concert with administrators, other healthcare groups, and consumers. We have made numerous advances. The Quality and Safety Education for Nurses Project (QSEN) funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) has now entered an exciting third phase. We can look with great satisfaction at the groundbreaking research linking nursing practice to quality and safety outcomes coming out of the RWJF-funded Interdisciplinary Nursing Quality Research Initiative (INQRI). Nurses and nursing organizations have expanded their roles and influence in major initiatives at the National Quality Forum (NQF) and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI). Nurses at the bedside are spearheading hundreds of new ways to improve patient care in RWJF's Transforming Care at the Bedside. These are only a few of the important nursing and interdisciplinary initiatives underway focused on improving quality and safety education, research, and practice. ",
