10 Core Competencies In Nursing

After cleary reviewing these ten core competencies, I see the importance because it build a communication between nurses , patient and other interdisciplinary team, which will create a safer and better healthcare. It also signifies the value and the expectation of a nurse, and set the standard for nurses to follow. The future nurse core competencies allow created an atmosphere for care that is provided to the patient and how we communicate.

The two competencies that is most important to future nursing practice are patient centered care and informatics and technology.Patient centered care will definitely be important to future nursing practice because as a nurse you will need to communicate to the patient and family members, in other to achieved

a better outcome. Patient centered care allows better continuity of care that involves family members and patient in the decision making of their care. Working in environment where patient centered care is followed, I have seen where the patient not able to understand are continue with needed care after discharge but with information passing or delivered to other family member that will assisted in the care, that take off the unnecessary stress from the patient allowing that knowing that help will be there, and they feel more trusted to whom they know. Patient centered care have shown to eliminate less stress to the patient better outcome, less re admission to the hospital, more compliant to care. When information is shared among family it allows better understand and communication amongst the healthcare team. It works great in a lot of cultures and family where English is a second language so it prevent the block in communication between the nurse and the patient. It allows the patient to be more involved and have an autonomy in the care provided.

Informatics and technology, with the advancement of technology and the availability to to information, it put healthcare at a bigger stance to be advance in how information is available and how it help in the care. Most if not all healthcare are mandated to have electronic medical record.it allows healthcare providers to monitor medication administration, and prevent less medication errors, teaching resource is available to nurses and patient. Informatics all continuity of care to be clear and concise . It also allow quicker response time to information. With the availability and resourceful information that available it help broaden knowledge and reasoning ability. Informatics allow a quicker and faster response time to patient result and important data , it also provide privacy to patient data, which don't allows paper trail laying around or get in the wrong hands. It keeps a track of healthcare workers care to the patient and track and monitor all access to patient record.
