Description
This project will focus on the unique roles, responsibilities and scopes of practice (known as key or core competencies) ideal to the specialized practice environment of Long Term Care (LTC). While this project concentrates on the core competencies required by Registered Nurses (RNs) to work in LTC, the project will also identify the knowledge, skills and attitudes required to work as a member of an interprofessional care team.
Elements of this program will include:
- Identification and implementation of best practices in areas related to the needs of the Lodge’s residents
- Frameworks and tools including clarification of roles
- Selection and implementation of assessment tools (including clinical pathways)
- Implementation of a competency-based approach to long term care
