The NEW Guide to Ambulatory Care Nursing Orientation & Competency Assessment will help you develop a customized orientation process for new employees based on specific competencies. There is no more guess work! Select the competencies you need to match with a staff member's duties. Fundamental competencies are defined, so staff members know what is expected regarding professional performance. These competencies are based on ambulatory care practice standards and incorporate the three roles of ambulatory care nursing practice; Organizational/Systems, Clinical Nurse, and Professional Nurse.

Telehealth Nursing Practice Essentials provides information necessary for safe, competent practice of telehealth nursing. It includes a culmination of topics essential for nurses new to telehealth practice, experienced in telehealth and for those interested in expanding their knowledge base. Key information is presented including the nursing process, focus, roles, legal, communication, customer service, technology, clinical decision tools, documentation and clinical information for the nurse to have an-depth understanding of the telehealth nursing scope of practice. The concept for this book was developed from the Telehealth Nursing Practice Core Course (TNPCC) manual by the American Academy of Ambulatory Nursing (AAACN). When the TNPCC manual was written in 2001, it was not known that the TNPCC would have such sustainability over nearly of decade of telehealth nursing practice. Over the years, there have been considerable changes in telehealth practice. Roles have expanded and evolved from telephone triage. A myriad of telecommunication devices are used for the encounter: the nurse- patient interaction. Roles include telehealth triage, consultation, follow-up and monitoring. Although roles have evolved, the patient remains the center of focus. The patient expects the care and the nurse is the provider of care. No matter what the telehealth setting, nurses reading this book should be able to identify issues relative to their particular situation and apply the information in order to enhance practice. It is with this goal in mind, that on behalf of my AAACN telehealth nursing colleagues, we present the first edition of Telehealth Nursing Practice Essentials: an essential information source for telehealth nursing.

Teamwork and collaboration 8. Cross setting communications and care transitions 9. Population health management There is also an introduction chapter, a chapter dedicated to the transition from acute care to ambulatory care and the critical nature of hand-offs in ensuring patient safety and quality of care. There are two chapters devoted to technologies that provide decision support and information systems for all dimensions of care coordination and transition management: one focused on informatics and one focused on telehealth nursing practice. The text is written for nurses in all settings; from ambulatory care to hospitals, extended care facilities to student nurses. The text is evidence based and is organized to include definitions, learning outcomes and objectives, a table of knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSAs), and nationally recognized core competencies for quality and safety education for nurses (QSEN), inter-professional collaborative practice, and public health nursing competencies.

This new resource contains 200 mock test items to help nurses prepare for the Certified in Care Coordination and Transition Management (CCCTM) exam provided by the Medical-Surgical Nursing Certification Board (MSNCB) in collaboration with AAACN. Nurses can also use the CCTM Review Questions to assess their knowledge of the practice of care coordination and transition management. All the review questions and their answers, associated page numbers, and rationales (found in the back of the book) are based on the Care Coordination and Transition Management Core Curriculum, a AAACN publication. Using the CCTM Core Curriculum as a companion to the CCTM Review Questions is highly recommended. CCTM Review Questions reflects the latest test blueprint of the CCTM exam corresponding to those on the exam: Communication and transition throughout the care continuum; Education, engagement; coaching and counseling of patients, caregivers, and support network; Population health management; Patient-centered care planning and support for self-management; Teamwork and inter-professional collaboration; and Advocacy.
