Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-I

An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care.
Physicians
The physician's primary responsibility is to diagnose illness and direct the medical or surgical treatment of the condition. The authority to admit patients to a healthcare agency or institution and practice care within that setting is granted to physicians by the healthcare agency or institution itself.

    Area of Science:

    • Emergency Nursing
    • Nurse Practitioner Competencies
    • Healthcare Professional Standards

    Background:

    • The Emergency Nurses Association (ENA) initiated a Delphi study to define professional and clinical competencies for nurse practitioners (NPs) in emergency care.
    • This initiative aimed to establish a consensus on essential skills for NPs working in diverse emergency settings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To verify and achieve consensus on entry-level professional and clinical competencies for NPs in emergency care.
    • To create a foundational document for NP education, practice, and research in emergency medicine.

    Main Methods:

    • A three-round Delphi study was conducted with a national sample of credentialed emergency care NPs from September 2007 to May 2008.
    • Online questionnaires assessed the importance and frequency of competencies, with participants also suggesting unaddressed areas.
    • A subsequent Consensus Panel Meeting in 2008 involved multidisciplinary stakeholders to validate Delphi findings.

    Main Results:

    • An initial list of 111 competencies was refined to 83 through the Delphi process.
    • A final list of 60 entry-level competencies was approved by a multidisciplinary stakeholder Consensus Panel.
    • Participating organizations included AAEM, AANP, AACN, ACEP, ACNP, ANA, ANCC, BCEN, CCNE, NCSBN, and NONPF.

    Conclusions:

    • The validated competencies have significant implications for NP education, providing a basis for emergency care curricula.
    • These competencies highlight the unique aspects of emergency care practice for NPs.
    • The findings support further research, including the development of advanced competencies for emergency care NPs.
