In this week’s discussion: Discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic has influenced the healthcare safety and quality initiatives set forth in KSA’s Vision 2030. Describe the barriers that the COVID-19 pandemic has created. Analyze the role of the healthcare quality improvement specialist to mitigate these barriers and drive quality in healthcare in the future. Embed course material concepts, principles, and theories (which require supporting citations) in your initial response along with at least one scholarly, peer-reviewed journal article. Keep in mind that these scholarly references can be found in the Saudi Digital Library by conducting an advanced search specific to scholarly references. Use Saudi Electronic University academic writing standards and APA style guidelines. You are required to reply to at least two peer discussion question post answers to this weekly discussion question and/or your instructor’s response to your posting. These post replies need to be substantial and constructive in nature. They should add to the content of the post and evaluate/analyze that post’s answer. Normal course dialogue doesn’t fulfill these two peer replies but is expected throughout the course. Answering all course questions is also required.
