NRS 441 Value Informed Nursing Practice

Credits: 5
This course intends to prepare nurses to advocate for and lead value-informed nursing practice. Students examine core principles of value within healthcare systems including why payment models are transitioning from fee for service to value based. The concept of “Value Informed Nursing Practice” is examined though historical, economic, financial, environmental, scope of practice, and ethical foundations. Also analyzed are the historical, current, and future algorithms and methods used to determine and measure the value and impact of the nursing role itself. Students have the opportunity to research, create, propose and advocate for an innovative, nurse-driven patient or community facing intervention aimed at reducing waste and improving the value of care.
