This change can be implemented using Roger’s theory of the diffusion of innovations. Using the five qualities identified by Rogers include; relative advantage, compatibility, simplicity, trialability, and observable results. The new EHR will improve patient care and patient outcomes. With the implementation of this system nurses will be provided with classroom training, one-on-one training, and the assistance of super users. These will help ensure adequate preparation as the system is implemented in stages.
The 2010 IOM report also puts a light on the importance of nurse as a leader . Nurses should take part and act as full partners in redesigning the future of health care with physicians and others in the health care team. Be accountable for the care delivered and efforts to improve at all levels to avoid and prevent errors from happening. Today we need more nurses as leaders in fields of policy making advisory boards to local and federal levels and in legislative levels ,to bring forward ideas to improve health care system and there by ensuring the safety and health of our patient and community
Code Of Ethics Scenarios NR 222: Health and Wellness When the first code of ethics for nurses was developed in 1893, the profession of nursing publically declared its commitment to maintaining a certain set of values and duties to all of the world (Martha D.M. Fowler, 2010). Even though the code of ethics that we use today has been revised (several times) from the original version, the basic principles that nurses follow are generally the same this many years later. Nurses around the United States use the American Nurses Association Code of Ethics in their daily practice today. The guidelines of the Code of Ethics help nurses make critical thinking decisions, resolve conflicts, properly care for their patients, and adhere to other various
This competency would assist the new NP in continued improvement in their practice. If the new NP is open about their new role and acknowledges that time will be necessary to move to the expert phase then that is an example of taking leadership and initiative in this crucial area. Susan O. Valentine states in her work titled Nursing Leadership and the New Nurse: “Leadership does not rest merely with administrators and high-level managers, but also can be developed and implemented at the bedside. Nursing has a responsibility to encourage and support new members of the profession, as they become competent clinicians.” This applies to all types of nurses when they assume new roles in the profession. We all have to start somewhere and it helps our confidence and practice if we are nurtured in our translation of new knowledge into practice.
These three points are essential to the role of nursing in our Changing healthcare system. Transforming practice: According to the IOM report, nurses should be able to practice to the full extent of their education and training. Nursing care should be given to patients based on their individual needs not what is convenient for the provider. For patients to receive care required our healthcare system will need transformation and nurses have the opportunity to play a major role; to create a more accessible, high quality we need to visit our scope of practice especially for APN and discuss barriers and restriction on practice. Transforming education: The IOM report indicates that nursing education should serve as a platform for continued lifelong learning and include opportunity for seamless transition into higher education (IOM 2011).
Many authors have somewhat different opinions of what nursing theory actually means, but the general consensus seems to support the fact that it is a set of clearly defined concepts and values. Assuming that nursing theory is purposeful and goal-oriented, it would lead us to believe that all nursing theories should enhance nursing practice and help nurses provide better patient care (Ingram, 1991). Theory can influence nursing practice both directly and indirectly. It is important because we are able to apply concepts, values, and ideas from a developing body of nursing knowledge from other experts and professionals in the nursing profession into how we currently practice. Without
Nurses should get effective workforce planning to get more data and information. 4. Nurses should practice and get higher level of education and training. The nursing education primary goal is patient safety. “Two consensus reports from the Institute of Medicine (IOM) which calls for greater interprofessional education of physicians, nurses, and other health professionals, as well as new methods of improving and demonstrating competency throughout one’s career (IOM, 2003b, 2009)” The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation of nursing research network is estimate costs of nursing education for different degree levels.
The NCNR dedicated areas within its institute to focus just on how to conduct research. Knowing how to conduct research is important as studies were undergone to not only improve nurses’ ability to slow a patient’s illness, but to also assist the nurse in promoting a healthy lifestyle for the patient. The NCNR believes research is necessary because nurses “are more likely to have continuing contact with the most vulnerable populations” (Merritt, 1987). Research is needed to assist nurses in identifying those patients at risk so interventions can be put into place to empower the patient to realize a healthy lifestyle is achievable. Conclusion Nursing research has always been and continues to be directed toward patient care.
The Future of Nursing: Leading change, Advancing Health Kimberly Pettaway Grand Canyon University: NRS-430V October 4, 2015 The Future of Nursing according to the IOM Since the Institute of Medicine (IOM) reports the future of nursing leading change and promoting wellness, it advocates transforming education, nursing practice and transforming leadership. Healthcare experiences many transformations for lots of reasons because of the growing requisitions of the medical profession.

This report of the Institute of medicine (IOM) was established to provide opportunities for nurses to further their education, improve the practice of the nurse, and helped
Once completing my bachelors of science in nursing, I can continue my long-term goal of becoming a nurse practitioner. The skills required of a nurse practitioner are skills that I have been practicing throughout my career as a nurse. I will listen to my patient’s needs and concerns, and provide them with information in a way they can understand it. I will have better critical thinking and reasoning skills for when problems or situations arise. I will have the knowledge and information needed to diagnose and treat.
