The Nursing Process
The Nursing Process is a widely adopted methodology that involves a cyclical series of steps: Assessment, Diagnosis, Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation. This process helps in systematically identifying patient needs and delivering personalized care.
Evidence-Based Practice (EBP)
Evidence-Based Practice involves integrating the best available research with clinical expertise and patient values. EBP ensures that nursing interventions are grounded in the latest scientific evidence, thereby improving patient outcomes and care quality.
Patient-Centered Care
Patient-Centered Care focuses on treating patients with dignity, respect, and empathy. This methodology emphasizes the importance of involving patients in their care decisions and tailoring interventions to meet individual needs and preferences.
Clinical Pathways
Clinical Pathways are standardized, evidence-based multidisciplinary care plans that outline the sequence and timing of interventions for specific conditions. These pathways help streamline care, reduce variations in practice, and improve outcomes.
