The Orientation and Competency Guide serves as a valuable resource that provides organizations and staff educators guidance in developing orientation programs and comprehensive competency assessment programs for staff working in ambulatory care settings.
The third edition of the Orientation and Competency Guide identifies and promotes standardized competencies for ambulatory care nursing and describes the knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSAs) associated with safe and competent patient care. Each chapter reflects updated and current information that supports and promotes the specialty of ambulatory care nursing.
The Guide contains:
• Updated content from the previous edition with definitions,
tips, and examples.
• Chapters on nurse educator competencies, resources for the
nurse transitioning to ambulatory care, and more.
Other highlights:
• Tools for developing a structured orientation that is grounded in
evidence and meets quality and regulatory standards.
• An appendix containing sample orientation and competency
tools that can be used as templates for developing your own
tools.
The Guide also addresses critical components for ambulatory care nurses practicing in these settings to include topics such as telehealth, care coordination and transition management, patient-centered medical home care, and population management.
