Professional Practice
The Nursing Professional Practice Council maintains standards of clinical nursing practice and patient care consistent with evidence-based practice and requirements of regulatory agencies. This council serves as a forum to exchange best practices that have the potential to impact clinical areas across disciplines.
Goals:
- Review newly developed and updated plans of care to ensure plans are interdisciplinary, comprehensive, evidence based, and easy to navigate.
- Evaluate the impact of the nursing intervention on readmission rate on patients with the Six Core Diagnosis with LACE score greater than 11 or equal admitted every month.
- Increase nursing and interdisciplinary involvement and feedback from Unit Practice Council members.
- Maintain and sustain membership on the council.
- Encourage staff to join nursing differentiated professional practice.
