06/07/2024
Course release date: 6/7/2021
About the Course:
Nursing documentation is an integral part of clinical nursing care. This ensures that nurses account for the care that is provided and the resulting patient outcomes. Requirements for documentation in terms of regulatory, accreditation, and legal requirements are continually evolving, especially with the advent of electronic medical records. This course emphasizes compliance with documentation for nurse accountability and performance evaluation. Incomplete, inadequate, or inaccurate documentation can adversely affect reimbursement and accreditation and have legal consequences that may expose the nurse to liability. Additionally, incomplete documentation can negatively affect communication and coordination of services between healthcare providers, which can in turn affect patient care.
Nurses commonly experience conflict between time spent caring for patients and time needed to accurately record care provided and a patient’s response to treatment. Documentation done using best practices accurately reflects the patient’s true clinical situation as well as trends toward recovery or complications. Inadequate or poor documentation may not tell the whole story of care or patient outcomes and could result in allegations of negligence, fraud, abuse, or malpractice. Good documentation can support workflow, improve efficiency, and increase productivity.

Nursing practice is guided by three major pillars: ethical concepts, professional standards, and laws/regulation to ensure safe and professional nursing practice. A nurse must know and understand all three of these guiding pillars. A nurse will be held to these guiding pillars and lack of knowledge or understanding will not be an excuse if something happens to a patient. This course will first describe ethical concepts that influence nursing practice, then examine professional standards, most of which are based on specific ethical concepts. Finally, laws and regulations will be discussed. By the end of the course the nurse will have a better understanding of the three pillars that guide nursing practice.

About the Course
Building and leading high-performing teams in healthcare requires new approaches to teamwork and leadership. This course challenges the status quo and focuses on the emerging body of team science informed by multiple disciplines, to include social psychology, reliability science, organizational behavior, and crisis management.
This 10 lesson multimedia course provides essential information for both the novice and the expert in the development, participation, and management of teams. The basic components and principles for teamwork are presented as the foundation for the course and compared with the complexity and challenges encountered by healthcare teams during routine times and in times of crisis. Five stages of team development are presented, as well as practical exercises, tools, methods of inquiry, and strategies to overcome obstacles and optimize team performance.
The authors use an informal and engaging dialogue approach to present important content and methods needed to transform organizations into high performing interdisciplinary teams. It is through these teams that organizations will have the best opportunities for organizational change, clinical transformation, and improved patient safety. Throughout this course, learners are engaged with workbook activities and self-reflection.

At the root are a variety of infectious pathogens, some representing a resultant disease and each featuring varying abilities to pass between people. The world has suffered from deadly infectious diseases for many years, with some pathogens resulting in far worse consequences than others. COVID-19 will pass with yet unknown societal impact. Nurses will always be on the front line – playing key roles in fighting the disease and showing their patients how to best adapt to life in a non-sterile world.

The issue becomes even more confusing when we hear about the “second wave” of cases. Probably the biggest concern is that there are still so many unknowns. What does “new normal” look like? As with the pandemic itself, nurses will be called on to help others deal with the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. This course examines some of the possible long-term effects of this global health problem and explores potential ways nurses can help patients and their families deal with life after the pandemic.

About the Course
Many who have pursued a career as nurses and in healthcare feel like the profession chose us instead of us choosing it. Our deep-rooted passion for the caring and healing of others, our patients, and their families, calls us to the profession. And this passion is the life energy that fuels our commitment to our practice. During this course, you will learn how to disconnect from life’s competing priorities and reflect back on the passion that fuels you and the purpose that keeps you going. You’ll gain insights and inspiration to continue forward on a path of countless opportunities in the nursing profession.

About the Course
Nursing has been named the most TRUSTED profession in America for the 19th consecutive year. What an amazing accomplishment. So why then is trust in such short supply within the profession? COVID-19 has amplified the declining levels of trust exponentially. Whether due to strains on staffing, poor organizational communication or PPE shortages, trust between frontline caregivers and nurse leaders has been negatively impacted. This course presents the inextricable link between Cultures of Trust and higher employee engagement, increased teamwork and empowerment, increased performance, and lower turnover. You will learn the role each of us can play in rebuilding trust that has eroded during the demands and stressors in the work environment during the COVID-19 pandemic.
