Abstract
Quality indicators and the knowledge of 3p’s plays a critical role in facilitating the delivery of quality care. My specialty is dermatology, and the quality indicator that is the most essential on my side is the Prevention Quality Indicator (PQI). This indicator is hugely applicable enlightening the patients and the caregivers on the necessary measures to be undertaken to ensure that there is a reduced number of admissions. Working as a nurse requires one to strictly observe these quality measures and determine the viable solutions that will cater to the quick recovery of the patients. The 3 Ps are perfectly aligned with the PQI’s since as a nurse, I should be able to identify the successful practices that will make prevention successful. Further, policies formulated should be geared towards addressing that particular health conditions such as posting these preventative practices on websites. Finally, on the bedside, it is important to observe procedures that will result in health promotion. This knowledge is likely to contribute to the success significantly that I will realize in an area of interest as dermatology.

The prevention quality indicators play an essential role in nursing practice. These are some of the measures that can be used to assist in the identification of the essential care for the ambulatory care sensitive conditions.

Most of these practices play a fundamental role in ensuring that patients are not hospitalized through the utilization of early intervention. The prevention Quality indication, apart from preventing the need for hospitalization, they also assist in preventing the emergence of severe complications (Anderson, Manno, O’connor & Gallagher, 2010).
My specialty of interest is dermatology. The specialty requires strict adherence to the prevention quality indicators. Skin is the sensitive organ of the body that should be taken care of always. Therefore, in this field, I always opt for offering information on the preventative measures that people can use to avoid being exposed to various conditions that are not good for the skin and overall. Most of the data PQI’s is population-based, and they are obtained from hospital data, and they indicate that these problems can be prevented with much emphasis on maintaining a healthy environment hence assisting the PQI to revamp the overall quality of health in a community (Owens & Koch, 2015).
Prevention Quality Indicators directly impacts my work as a nurse since my primary role is the provision of quality care or health promotion. As a result, I am always tasked with making sure that all prevention practices are effectively communicated. The 3P’s are physical/health assessment, physiology, and pathophysiology, and pharmacology is aligned with prevention quality indicators (Waugh & Bergquist‐Beringer, 2016). The patients on bedside are usually impacted by this quality indicator given that core objective is ensuring that they have remained healthy. As a dermatologist, I will relook at any exposures that might have led to that condition. Then, I would utilize the preventive quality indicators in pursuing interventions that are viable and cost-effective.
