As we know technology is taking over major industries across America including healthcare. With Banner iCare the remote presence technology allows physicians and nurses to observe patients in their rooms throughout numerous Banner Health facilities while monitoring their vital signs at a facility located on the Banner Desert campus ("Stretching Targets," 2009, p. 7). This iCare model provides an approach to patient care that contains redefined roles for care providers to maximize their core competencies, provide new care delivery and communication processes, and be effective with bedside and remote monitoring care ("Stretching Targets," 2009, p. 9). The technological advances through Banner Health is just one of many ways they plan to provide great patient care and top notch healthcare within the next
My role as a student in higher education and my role as a future healthcare practitioner. Modern day nursing centres on research-based practice and evidence-based health care. According to Naidoo and Wills (2005) the competence of health care personnel is based on their education and knowledge and skills it provides. Contemporary clinical guidelines and practices provide a significant change from the apprenticeship styled learning system of the Florence Nightingale 18th century era. Nursing education has been radically reformed; both in theory and practice to meet up-to-date demands which comprises of rapid technological advancement, cutting edge research and knowledgeable patients who according to Mark, W., and Stanton, M.A.
Current and Future State of Advanced Practice Changing Roles of Advanced Practice Nurses Advanced practice nurses face a challenging situation within the present health care system. For many years, such traditional health care roles as physician and nurse have been regarded as unopposed professionals. With the rapid expansion of knowledge and the raising of standard of care based on evidence-based clinical practice, the health care system in recent years has expanded its ranks to support and expand the physician and nurse roles. Specialist and subspecialist training are fast making the role of the jack-of-all-trades health professional less and less valuable due to the sheer volume of knowledge required to match the standard of care demanded
Precepting involves a commitment on both the preceptor and the new nurse. The precepting period ends at the completion of orientation period, although the preceptor is usually the support nurse who the new nurse turns to with questions after orientation period ("Precepting," 2010). A2. Guidelines Using a competency-based approach is important in assessing a new nurse’s readiness to work solo on the nursing unit. Even though the new nurse has the potential ability to function, it is NNT2 TASK 5 3 important for the preceptor to evaluate the competency of their skills.
Without superb time management, a nurse’s job will never get done. When implementing a new electronic health record (EHR), this disrupts the routine that nurses have worked hard to develop. According to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), U.S. hospitals are to become meaningful users of EHR (Kelley, Brandon, & Docherty, 2011). How can the disruption be minimized while implementing a new EHR as directed by the ARRA? Relative Advantage Relative advantage is when “the individual adopting the new innovation must see how it will be an improvement over the old way of doing things (Rogers, 2003).
Research has shown that this can result in a decrease in quality of care and patient safety and increase adverse patient events (Tevington, 2011). However, some criticize this research because it does not show a direct link between nurse staffing levels and individual patient outcomes (Needleman, Buerhaus, Pankratz, Leibson, & Stevens, 2011). This paper will investigate if inadequate nurse staffing levels have a negative impact on patient outcomes on adult inpatient acute care hospital units? Adequate Versus Inadequate Nurse Staffing The American Nurses Association (ANA) defines adequate nurse staffing as an appropriate match between the nurse’s skill level and the needs of the patient ( American Nurses Association, 2012). To achieve adequate nurse staffing, it is known that balance must be achieved by properly staffing the unit with the appropriate number and correct mix of nurses to adequately care for the unit’s patient population (Sanford, 2010).
This particular theory is a grand nursing theory. A grand nursing theory is one that covers an expansive range of concepts that can be functional to all areas of nursing. Importance of theory and Orem's Self-Care Deficit Theory will be discussed throughout this paper. Information provided will also address how this theory addresses nursing's metaparadigm and how this theory views and influences nursing education. Importance of Theory Nursing theory is significant in the line of work that nurses perform.
