The NURS FPX 6080 Assessment 3 focuses on the vital role of data-driven decision-making and evidence-based change in advancing nursing leadership and improving patient outcomes. In today’s healthcare environment, where complexity, rapid change, and technological advancement intersect, nurse leaders must rely on data and evidence to guide strategic initiatives. This assessment emphasizes how nursing leaders can leverage data analytics, performance metrics, and evidence-based practices (EBP) to influence quality improvement, enhance team performance, and promote patient safety. By exploring these key elements, the assessment helps nurses transition from clinical practitioners to visionary leaders capable of shaping organizational excellence through informed and ethical decision-making.
