In 2011, the United States has reformed the health system to improve the health outcome of all individuals.

As a result of the healthcare reform, that was released in October 5th, 2010. Recommended that “ nurses should practice to the full extent of their education and training to improve higher education and reassure wide opportunities for nursing to grow and assuming leadership collaborative in full partnership with others in health care professionals to improve the quality of care” ( IOM REPORT 2011, Pag. 1). According to the IOM, “nursing is the largest section of the nation’s health care workforce”, nurses play very important role by being front lines of the patient care and helping identifying vital objectives point in the 2010 health care law (IOM REPORT, October 5th , 2010).

...Concepts Analysis Paper Demis Rey BSN Theoretical Foundations of Advanced Nursing Kaplan University March 10, 2014 The concept of Quality has a close relation with nursing practices. Higher quality healthcare is the common goal of all healthcare team and improving healthcare quality has become the common focal point of all healthcare organization. Quality has become an important issue for healthcare facilities facing a changing of healthcare environment (Tsai, & Wu, 2013). Quality is derived from the Latin “quails” and is defined as essential character of nature…an inherent or distinguishable attribute or property, a character “trait” and is defined as superiority of kind and degree or grade of excellent (Wicks, & Roethlein, 2009). Every quality expert defines quality somewhat differentially, and there are a variety of perspectives than can be taken in defining quality. The most widely concept of quality is the Industrial Organization Society (IOS) definition as “the degree to wish a set of inherent characteristics fulfill requirements” (Wicks, & Roethlein, 2009, p. 85). The psychological concept is closely aligned with the dictionary definition when quality relates to logic: “quality is the positive or negative character of a proposition” (The Merriam-Webster Dictionary, 2014). Quality is a set of characteristics or properties, as supported by the multidimensional definitions of quality. Quality can focus on excellence or can be viewed as the degree of a...

...Introduction Nursing is a call to serve the humanity. Present day healthcare system focused on preventive care and wellness has become highly advanced which makes every nurse responsible to achieve maximum level of education, skills and power of knowledge to meet the challenges. Continuous research in nursing and the evidence obtained from the research serves to support the nursing care. Continuing education helps nurses to keep track of all the developments taking place in the field, trace advances in technology and care, have a better understanding of all current rules and regulations, beware of all ethical and legal aspects of nursing as envisaged by various boards of nursing and other authorities in the field of healthcare. In this paper, I would like to explain the position statement of career development in nursing. It is only through proper and continued education that nurses can provide patients better care, assess and report what is best for the patient and always seek ways to improve patient outcome. In order to achieve the best results, nurses need to identify the core knowledge, scientific principles, skills and attitudes of nursing practice to improve healthcare system (International Council of Nurses, 2007). Therefore career development must be achieved by integrating care through our scholastic system, giving nurses opportunity to learn, grow and move up the ladder, making them capable of leading from the forefront. Career Development in Nursing Ever changing...

...SYNTHESIS OF ADVANCED NURSING ROLES BROWN_K_W5A2_SU_NSG5000 Kerry Ann Brown South University Due to the changing health care environment, the nursing profession is currently in a process of evolution. Scopes of practice and role expansions are being prepared. Some of these roles are traditional, such as nurse practitioners who have been fighting for equality and recognition since the early 19th century. With the advent of technological advancements in health care new roles such as nurse informaticists, recognized as a specialty in the later part of the 20th century, are being put into practice and defined. More responsibilities are being given to the nursing profession due to its knowledge base within the constructs of organization, implementation, and evaluation skills with a human approach. During the context of this class much knowledge was gained in respect to the nurse practitioner (NP), nurse administrator, nurse educator, and nurse informaticist (nurse informatics specialist). Because health care is changing, the aforementioned roles are also evolving, this paper will explore the commonalities with each advance practice role and analyze the roles and contributions of the nurse informatics specialist. The nurse practitioner is a postgraduate prepared registered nurse, who has either a master’s degree or doctorate. Upon graduation, NPs possess a wealth of knowledge allowing them to independently manage direct clinical aspects of patient-centered holistic...
