Session Summary
A national group of acute and critical care nursing leaders is responsible for the 2024 publication of a Call to Action for the development of nurse-sensitive outcome measures focused on what nurses do for patients and families, not the absence of nursing care as measured by current harm-focused metrics. In this session, a panel of experts from this working group presents the Call to Action and discuss ongoing work to validate identified domains of modern nursing practice based on nurse, patient and family feedback and develop truly nurse-sensitive outcome metrics.
Objectives
- Prepare a call to action for change in how the work of critical care nursing is defined and measured.
- Differentiate the nine domains of acute and critical care nursing practice based on feedback from nurses, patients and families.
- Identify limitations of current nurse-sensitive outcome measures and opportunities to flip the narrative on harm-focused nursing metrics.
