Implications for Nursing
Education
•
Interdisciplinary assessment of care needs
•
Examination of evidence to support care needs
•
Interdisciplinary plan of care
•
Evaluation of care using a quality model
•
Application of quality improvement techniques and
informatics to adjust the plan based on patient outcomes
The following are the
Modernization trends in Nursing Education.
More Outpatient Care
Nurses will also find opportunities in outpatient settings such
as ambulatory care clinics, rehabilitation centers, and clinics attached to assisted-living facilities, and even
telehealth providers.
The Importance of Cultural Competency
When nurses are helping individuals, families, and groups from
ever more diverse backgrounds. Nurses who are who are sensitive to the cultural
habits, traditions, and beliefs of their patients will be able to provide care
that takes these into account
Preventive Health
Nurses can help by focusing on measures to prevent chronic
illnesses such as diabetes, slow down or mitigate the effects of aging on the body via exercise
and improve overall wellness—as well as by educating patients about what
further steps they can take on their own to improve their health.
Increasing Consumer Sophistication
Patients are also extremely knowledgeable about where to turn
for health information, often doing their own research on the Internet.
Consequently, patients may come to appointments with their own possible
diagnoses and suggested treatments and medications. Such awareness can be as potentially harmful as it is helpful,
forcing nurses to sort through possibly flawed information and incorrect
assumptions as they perform health assessments.
The Rise of Nurse Informatics
Nurse informatics can support evidence-based nursing practice
and improved patient care through better data collection, information analysis,
easier and faster collaboration between health care professionals, and
identification of both large- and small-scale health and patient
trends
