recommendation from the IOM

Sophoan Davis 2 postsRe: Topic 1 DQ 2

The first education recommendation from the IOM I agree with is to allow “interprofessional team training of nurses, physicians and other health care providers” (2011). I attended a leadership course a few years ago. The group consisted of physicians, nurses, pharmacist, laboratory technicians, nurse aids, etc. It was eye opening to listen to the stories of personal and organizational struggles from different fields. We realized we had common ground: Patient-centered care. Also, I currently work in a program with multidisciplinary team members. My team consist of a medical director, a nurse practitioner, a psychologist, two physical therapist and two registered nurses. It is rewarding to work with providers who are open to discussing a patient’s care plan, bounce ideas and hear suggestions. Allowing interprofessional team training will influence comradery which in turn will boost quality patient care.

The second education recommendation from the IOM I agree with is to allow nurses to move seamlessly through the education system to higher levels of education (IOM, 2011). I believe the most difficult thing for working nurses is to balance work and school. If the education program structure can allow for this, we will have more nurses in school with higher degrees. “Nurses with graduate degrees will be able to replenish the nurse faculty pool; advance nursing science and contribute to the knowledge base on how nurses can provide up-to-date, safe patient care; participate in health care decisions; and provide the leadership needed to establish nurses as full partners in health care redesign efforts” (IOM, 2011).

The APRN role is evolving. The realization of the role and responsibilities are becoming widely known and discussed. Patients are sharing quality of their care. With the shortages in primary care providers, more people are trusting and turning to APRNs. And rightly so.

recommendations for nursing education

Two recommendations for nursing education that will help create change in the health care industry are  educatinterprofessionalion and defining core competencies. Following these recommendations would show an increase in initial care-based knowledge and more effective communication in work settings.

Interprofessional education is extremely important to the industry and would help develop better working relationships and a better understanding of professional roles. Shared learning environments with students from various disciplines will encourage graduates to work more effectively in teams and decrease the number of miscommunications among the team (IOM, 2011).

There are several higher-level competencies that are not a primary focus during early education, including them in the program curriculum could better prepare nurses in areas such as evidence-based practice, medical management, patient safety, and clinical judgment. It can be difficult for students just graduating to apply their knowledge with these competencies. Incorporating knowledge and action would put out a more highly educated and better-prepared workforce (IOM, 2011).

Discuss how quality measures and pay for performance affect patient outcomes.

Examine changes introduced to reform or restructure the U.S. health care delivery system. In a 1,000-1,250 word paper, discuss action taken for reform and restructuring and the role of the nurse within this changing environment.

Include the following:

  1. Outline a current or emerging health care law or federal regulation introduced to reform or restructure some aspect of the health care delivery system. Describe the effect of this on nursing practice and the nurse’s role and responsibility.
  2. Discuss how quality measures and pay for performance affect patient outcomes. Explain how these affect nursing practice and describe the expectations and responsibilities of the nursing role in these situations.
  3. Discuss professional nursing leadership and management roles that have arisen and how they are important in responding to emerging trends and in the promotion of patient safety and quality care in diverse health care settings.
  4. Research emerging trends. Predict two ways in which the practice of nursing and nursing roles will grow or transform within the next five years to respond to upcoming trends or predicted issues in health care.

You are required to cite to a minimum of three sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria and relevant to nursing practice.

nontraditional experiences for practicing nurses.

The RN to BSN program at Grand Canyon University meets the requirements for clinical competencies as defined by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN), using nontraditional experiences for practicing nurses. These experiences come in the form of direct and indirect care experiences in which licensed nursing students engage in learning within the context of their hospital organization, specific care discipline, and local communities.

Note: This is an individual assignment. In 1,500-2,000 words, describe the teaching experience and discuss your observations. The written portion of this assignment should include:

  1. Summary of teaching plan
