Evolving Practice of Nursing and Patient Care Delivery Models
The RN to BSN program at Grand Canyon University meets the requirements for clinical competencies as defined by CCNE and AACN using nontraditional experiences for practicing nurses. These experiences come in the form of direct and indirect care experiences in which licensed nursing students engage in learning within the context of their hospital organization, their specific care discipline and their local communities.

Evolving Practice of Nursing

EVOLVING PRACTICE OF NURSING
Introduction
The role of nursing is fast evolving since the nurses are being entrusted with a wider level of health care tasks. Taking care of the sick is becoming more complicated, yet most hospitals are understaffed under tight budgets. Due to the increment of some diseases such as obesity and diabetes, among others in the world population, it is clear that the system of health care is experiencing some shake-ups that need adjustments (Ridge, 2011). Efforts to improve nursing practice are underway and there is need to educate nurses concerning the way it is expected to grow and change.
Part One-To Educate Nurses
The change and growth of the nursing practice is very crucial so that heath care system can be able to keep up with the rising complications of illnesses. Among the most important concepts in health care system, the continuity of care is usually experienced by clients in the entire continuum. The problem behind inadequate continuity of care can be derived from the shortage of staff, complexity and acuity of health care requirements of clients, elevated demand for services, and limited experience in nurses, among others (Cheater, 2009). In order for this area to improve, the access to care is expected to improve and observance to prescribed treatment and screen also should improve. Moreover, the unidentified issues also needs to be recognized, fewer hospitalizations and improved satisfaction in clients, among other measures. The core and focus of the entire registered practice of nursing is expected to offer care to clients. Through the employment of the nursing procedure of assessment, planning and diagnosis, evaluation and implementation, these professional nurses have the skills and competency to offer holistic nursing care in communities, families, individuals and the entire population. In addition, the implementation of accountable care organization (ACOs), will take the nursing practice to the next level (Cheater, 2009). There is high expectation that ACOs have developed mandated goals of cost repression as well as progressed outcomes. The nurses should be aware that they possess an integral duty to play in assisting ACOs to deliver the care of high quality while maintaining the lower costs. The ACOs have positioned themselves in a health care market place that is redefined. A reasonable number of nurses are expected to participate in this commendable nursing practice whereby they will help to offer high quality and patient centered care and reducing costs on the other hand. The roles of these nurses are quite involving and require dedicated and expertise personnel. They include acting as communicators, care coordinators, quality improvement managers, as well as suppliers of advanced levels of care.
Medical homes are also vital concept of creating a single place of housing most of the children's care records. The medical home evolved to comprise of primary care practice, which resulted to organizational models. The organizational models allow provision and coordination of wide-ranging care that is founded on well-built relationships between provider and patient. Therefore, there is a great emphasis that medical homes ought to be community based inter-professional teams, which include nurses, physicians as well as other healthcare professionals. Since there is an increased funding for the nurse-managed health clinics (NHMC), the nursing practice is likely to progress. It is a longstanding and successful concept that delivers primary care to uninsured and underinsured populations. Interestingly, more than two hundred and fifty NMHCs are already offering more than one point five million people in the centers that are mainly affiliated with nonprofit organizations that are community based, or nursing school. The continuation of this concept will enable patients that are managed in the NMHC environment to experience important reduction in hospital days, prescription drug use, and ED visits.
