Since The Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City began delivering care in the mid 1800s, the medical services and, shortly thereafter, the nursing service have consistently given priority to improving patient care. Through the decades of the late 19th and 20th centuries, the Department of Nursing has remained current with the evolving concept of quality improvement. A historical overview of key elements in the evolution of quality improvement in nursing is presented.
