Description
Nursing is a practice profession: nursing education and staff development need to reflect this in every aspect. Many IOM and HMD reports relevant to nursing - especially those on quality issues - are platforms for improvements throughout health care practice, policy, and education. This book is based in large part on the author’s ongoing, first-hand conversations and collaborations with nurse educators, staff developers, and clinicians. It takes a real-world approach to implementing the IOM and HMD reports into modern nursing practice.
Organized into IOM’s five core competencies for all health care professionals - patient-centred care, interprofessional teamwork, evidence-based practice, quality improvement, and informatics utilization - this book features new and re-invigorated insights and ideas on why and how to understand the IOM and HMD reports and their recommendations individually and as a body of work.
Highlights of Learning IOM/HMD include:
- Summaries and analyses of the 26 most recent nursing-pertinent reports and their implications for nursing education, professional development, and practice.
- A section on the connections between the IOM and HMD reports, ANA's current nursing scope and standards and the Code of Ethics for Nurses.
- Full coverage of the 65 nursing-relevant IOM and HMD reports.
- Shows students how to analyze any IOM or HMD report.
