  1. PHN: Professional Issues and Standards of Practice APHA November 5, 2006

  2. Committee Members • Joy Reed Betty Bekemeier • Kaye Bender Beth Benedict • Ellen Bridge Stephanie Chalupka • Mary Pat Couig Philip Greiner • Glenda Kelly Joan Kub • Pamela Kulbok

  3. Process • Analysis of reports and publications • Developed first draft in small groups • Agreed on Draft • Public Comment on Draft • Revisions based on feedback (considered every comment) • Finalized and sent to ANA Congress

  4. Components of the Scope • Acknowledgment of spirited predecessors • Acceptance of the 2002 IOM’s Ecological Model and 2003 report • Recognition of public health and public health nursing competencies, NPHPS, Essentials • Impact of emerging issues (preparedness, obesity, environmental hazards, etc.)

  5. Definition of PHN • Population-based • Partnerships • Role related to Core Functions • Focus on supporting and enhancing health • Tenets revised as 8 principles that combined distinguish PHN from other specialties

  6. Education • Generalist level assumes baccalaureate preparation • Master’s assumed for nurse specialist • ADN and Diploma assist where care is directed toward individuals and families • Use of APRN terminology – to emphasize that CNS is one of the 4 APRN roles

  7. Standards • Have to start with “template” language and justify changes • Added population-focused language throughout • “health status of populations” • “population diagnoses and priorities” • “with” the population or community • Increased focus and language around: environmental issues, cultural competence, social justice, assets rather than needs

  8. Standards • Added a 5D - “Regulatory Activities” • Added a Standard 16 on “Advocacy” because of its critical role in PHN

  9. Issues for the Profession • The educational level assumed for this document and the PHN competencies versus the reality of practice • The “advanced practice” debate - can we articulate clearly a difference between “advanced nursing practice” (professional) and “Advanced Practice Nursing” (regulatory)
