UNDERSTANDING THE AANN FUTURE OFNURING WHITE PAPER: CHANGES TOTHE AANNs FUTURE

INTRODUCTION:HEALTHCARE REFORM March 2010:President BarackObama signed intolaw the PatientProtection andAffordableHealthcare Act(PPACA)

INTRODUCTION:HEALTHCARE REFORM & NURSING October 2010: The Institute of Medicine Published a report“The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health”– Four Key Messages– 1. Nurses should practice to the full extent of their education andtraining– 2. Nurses should achieve higher level of education and trainingthrough an improved education system that promotes seamlessacademic progression– 3. Nurses should be full partners, with physicians and otherhealthcare professionals in redesigning U.S. healthcare– 4. Effective workforce planning and policy making require betterdata collection and an improved information infrastructure

INTRODUCTION:AANN RESPONSE July 2011: AANN Board ofDirectors (BOD) Adopted the 4 key messages ofthe IOM Future of Nursing callto action and integrated theminto the AANN strategic plan. June 2012: AANN published itsfirst White Paper “Integrating the Institute ofMedicine Future of NursingReport into the AmericanAssociation of NeuroscienceNurses Strategic Plan”

Key Message #1:

Key Message #1What does this meanfor AANN members? Neuroscience nurses must be able to practiceto the full extent of their education regardlessof whether they are working as a registerednurse or an advanced practice nurse; andregardless of the setting.

Subcategory 1:Scope of PracticeSubcategory 2:Transition to Practice (NurseResidency) programs1.1.Revision of the AmericanAssociation of Neuroscience Nurses(AANN) Scope and Standards ofPractice for Registered Nurses andadvanced practice registered nurses(APRNs)2.Implement multilevel residencyprograms to manage entranceinto neuroscience nursing (e.g.,student to practitioner).Programs to manage positionsof greater oversight (e.g.,practitioner to coordinator,coordinator to director).

Key Message #1:How can AANN accomplish this?1. Collaborate with the American NursesAssociation (ANA) on the scope andstandards of practice document.2. Support ANA scope and standards of practiceupdates.3. Disseminate the revised scope and standardsof practice document to key stakeholders.

Subcategory 1:Scope of PracticeSubcategory 2:Transition to Practice Programs1.1.Integration of the AmericanAssociation of Neuroscience Nurses(AANN) Scope of Practice foradvanced practice registered nurses(APRNs) with those of bedsidenurses to support excellence in theneurosciences.2.Support the implementation ofmultilevel residency programsto manage entrance intoneuroscience nursing (e.g.,student to practitioner).Support programs to managepositions of greater oversight(e.g., practitioner tocoordinator, coordinator todirector).

Key Message #1How can AANN accomplish this?1. Support transition-to-practice graduate nurse residencyprograms.2. Support the development of a competency-basedtransition-to-practice (nurse residency) program for entryinto the neuroscience nursing subspecialty.3. Support and facilitate the implementation of multilevelnurse residency programs across the continuum of care.4. Prepare an AANN position statement on competencybased transition-to-practice (nurse residency) programsfor neuroscience.5. Disseminate the AANN position statement to keystakeholders.

DISCUSSION Who are your key stakeholders? How do you disseminate information tostakeholders?

Key Message # 2Nurses should achieve higher levelsof education and training through animproved education process thatpromotes seamless academictransition.

Key Message #2What does this mean forAANN members? We need to have opportunities for higherlevels of education specific to neurosciencenursing. We need to have quality educationalresources that support our educational needs.

Key Message #2How can AANN accomplish this? Achieve industry-wide reputability as a producer ofquality education products– Foster a culture of lifelong learning AANN is a continuing education provider– Support the use of traditional and alternative educationalmethodologies Face to face, online, distance, simulation– Support development of a comprehensive core of clinicalperformance competencies– Continue to disseminate research-based best practices AANN Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) Journal of Neuroscience Nursing

Key Message#2How can AANN accomplish this? Explore the global market to provideeducation in neuroscience nursing– Create opportunities for entrepreneurialprofessional development education Enables neuroscience nurses to consider startingbusinesses intended to improve healthcare outcomes– Disseminate innovative evidence-based caremodels– Explore opportunities and introduce neweducational products

DISCUSSION What educational tools or opportunitieswould be most valuable to advancing yourclinical and professional practice? What types of evidenced-based education orprograms would meet your needs?
