Discussion: Developing nursing standards of practice
The following is the process for developing nursing standards of practice:
Assessment: The registered nurse collects comprehensive data about patient’s health.
Diagnoses: the registered nurse analyzes the assessment data to determine the diagnoses or the issues.
Outcome Identification: The registered nurse identifies the expected outcomes for the patient’s plan of care.
Planning: The registered nurse develops the plan that authorizes strategies and a way to obtain the outcomes.
Implementation: The registered nurse implements theidentified plan.
Coordination of care: The registered nurse coordinates care delivery.
Consultation: The registered nurse provides consultation to control the identified plan and
effect change.
Perspective authority and power: The registered nurse uses rigid authority, procedures,
treatments, and therapy in accordance with state and federal laws and regulations.
Assessment: The registered nurse evaluates progress towards fulfilment of outcomes.
Different entities might be involved in developing the Standard practice – American Nurses Association members are the first link in developing sources (American Nurses Association, 2014), The Department of Health Scope of Practice might be involved in the development of standards (“Scope of Practice,” 2014), State boards of nursing develop standards of care at the state level and enforce those standards. The American Nurse Credentialing Center (ANCC) work on the national level.
Professional specialty nursing organizations, Educational Institutions, State Boards of Nursing and other governmental agencies develop standards of care. The American Nurses Association and the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organization (JCAHO) recognize standards of care. Federal and state laws, rules and regulations and other professional/organizations help define standards of practice. The ANA and Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organization (JCAHO) establish nationally recognized standards of care.
