Health care clinicians, educators, and students who plan and implement quality improvement (QI) projects must know reporting guidelines for successful project planning and publication. We aimed to identify QI guidelines, which authors can locate, and highlight how best to use them for manuscript preparation. We also address guidelines for educational QI projects. Because of the increasing number of Doctor of Nursing Practice projects generated, these students and their mentors must be familiar with commonly used guidelines for reporting QI projects to facilitate peer review, demonstrate quality and rigor of work, reduce revisions, and potentially accelerate a paper's acceptance for publication.

规划和实施质量改进 (QI) 项目的卫生保健临床医生、教育工作者和学生必须了解成功项目规划和发布的报告指南。我们的目的是确定作者可以找到的 QI 指南，并强调如何最好地使用它们来准备稿件。我们还制定了 QI 教育项目指南。由于护理实践博士项目的数量不断增加，这些学生及其导师必须熟悉报告 QI 项目的常用指南，以促进同行评审，展示工作的质量和严谨性，减少修改，并可能加速论文的接受供出版。
