CCC-Introduced in 1991 for use in hospitals, ambulatory care clinics, and other settings, consists of two unified terminologies that cover nursing diagnoses, outcomes, interventions and action. These are connected by a shared framework of care components.
ICNP-This is a compositional nursing terminology developed by the International Counsel of Nurses covering nursing diagnoses, actions and outcomes, seeking to support the development of local terminologies and facilitate cross-mapping among terminologies.
NANDA-I-Introduced in 1973, it was the first to be recognized by the ANA. It maintains an agreed upon set of nursing diagnoses organized as multiaxial classification of domains and classes. It is a used to identify human responses to health

In her charge nurse role, Ms. Cetiner evaluates the daily activities of the unit and delegates care appropriately while promoting autonomy of others. She has the skill to make independent and interdependent decisions regarding patient care, staffing and unit issues. She communicates and collaborates with the interdisciplinary care team for seamless, patient-driven
Communication, this is the key focus area that is evaluated in this summary. Communication is a key focus area of the joint commission audit and is also a key area in which Nightingale Community can make enhancements. Communications must be a two way free flow of information. The information exchanges occur between providers, staff, and patients or clients. This was an area that needed improvement was noted in the previous accreditation audit. Some noted prior issues from 2 years ago included patient and family education and information not being properly disseminated to the nursing staff. These are areas where we have targeted and currently meet. Some areas that we continue to work on are as follows.
a. The label is the title of the nursing diagnosis as defined by the North American Nursing Diagnoses Association (NANDA).
The second category of provisions relates to the nurse’s responsibility to maintain their own proficiency and health environments, delegate appropriately, preserve integrity, and keep their practice and competence current. It is crucial that nurses are proficient and maintain competency in order to deliver high quality care to patients. "The virtue of professional competence calls for continual professional growth and a commitment to lifelong learning. You must practice nursing that’s evidence-based, be knowledgeable about the scope and standards of nursing practice, and have the necessary skills to perform nursing tasks effectively” [ (Lachman, 2008, p. 44) ].
Nursing care is focused on the assessment, nursing diagnoses, planning, implementation, and evaluation of patients. This nursing process can also be implemented in aspects outside of nursing and on the nursing field as a collective group. The nursing role is evolving, following the process the outcomes have to be evaluated and put into perspective. Research is being completed the conclusions are all the same, the higher education of nursing care the better the patient outcomes.
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) has recognized five key core competencies (CCs) that all healthcare professionals should be aware of during practice. The initial competency described concentrates on patient-centered care. Throughout history, the nursing community has continued to evolve, both in the practicing aspect and in level of caring for patients. During this evolution of nursing care, nurses providing hands on care to patients must refer to the Institute of Medicine, peer reviews and/or evidenced-based research to guide them properly as it applies to the core concepts of nursing. The first core competency according to the IOM is patient-centered care.
Two types of data were collected through surveys, both before and after implementation of the combined approach (Sand-Jecklin and Sherman,2014). The first data was on nurses’ point of view with regards reporting process, and the second on patients view regrading nursing care. The baseline survey included 233 patients and 148 nurses, while the survey three months into the implementation period included 157 patients and 98 nurses. The final survey, 13 months into the impanation, was completed by 154 patients and 54 nurses. The patient survey also included responses from patient families. These were 70, 72, and 53 responses for baseline survey, three-month postimplementation surveys, and 13-month postimplementation surveys.
The NMC has a code of professional conduct, standard for conduct, performance and ethics, the code clearly states the need for nurses, midwives as well as special community public health nurses to maintain their professional knowledge and competence in order to deliver care based on current evidence, best practice and where applicable (NMC 2004, p.10). Hence, nursing profession is regulated by the NMC which has
The NMC code states that the guidelines were not only set by them themselves but what the general public expect from nursing healthcare professionals. The NMC code changed its standards and expectations in February of 2015 as a result of the Francis report (2013) being published and exposing the appalling conditions of the Staffordshire hospital; the nursing and midwifery council then decided that it was paramount for the code to be revised so as there was no grey areas where the health care professionals were unsure of what standard of care they were expected to uphold and deliver to anyone in their care. The Royal College of Nursing RCN (2015) would describe person centred care as allowing a person to be equal in their care and to empower them to make informed choices about their care plans, it would suggest that the service users should be
As a result of the introduction of computer technology and the combination of evidence-based practice in nursing; standardization of terminologies has become imperative in the classification of nursing diagnosis, interventions and expected outcomes. The most popular and successful systems are the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association International (NANDA-I), Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC), and Nursing Intervention Classification (NIC) (de Lima Lopes, de Barros, & Marlene Michel, 2009). This paper aims to provide a brief outline of these standardized terminologies (STs) as they relate to a
The authors recommend that the findings originating from this study can be used as a basis to initiate protocols for implementation of bedside nursing
There are five integral components to nursing practice that reinforce the framework of the nursing profession. The conceptual framework pillars are the following: Caring, Communication, Critical Thinking, Professionalism and Holism. Further, Caring is an essential pillar in the nursing profession and is defined as embracing empathy for the patient and being able to interpret the principles of altruism, integrity, human dignity, autonomy and reflect sensitive, compassionate, safe and outstanding quality care. Communication is s process in which information is shared formally or informally between individuals. Critical Thinking is extraordinarily acquired thought that indicates inquiry, evidenced based research, reasoning, analysis and
The standards of practice describe a competent level of nursing care as exhibited by the critical thinking model known as the nursing process. This practice includes the areas of assessment, diagnosis, outcome identification, planning, implementation, and evaluation. The nursing process includes significant actions taken by registered nurses (RN) and forms the foundation of the nurse’s decision-making (“American Nurses Association,” 2010).
Practice: A piece of the nursing practice relies on the Care Management Model which sets up functional teams with different focus points such as clinical data analysis, safety, utilization review, patient education, and performance improvement (BMC, 2015). BFMC surely has a code of conduct manual but it was not available for the public to view. The Banner organization utilizes many company developed frameworks of care centering on the patient and results of care (Mensik, Maust-Martin, Scott, & Horton, 2011). Additionally, Evidence based practice is expressed as scientifically based care promoting integrity and striving for the highest quality of care and services (Goebel, 2016). While BRMC does
