Area of Science:
- Nursing
- Healthcare Management
- Professional Development
Background:
- Substandard performance among Registered Nurses presents significant ethical and practical challenges.
- The nursing shortage exacerbates the reluctance to address performance deficiencies, impacting patient safety.

Purpose of the Study:
- To propose an alternative approach for managing Registered Nurses with cumulative technical performance deficiencies.
- To introduce and explore the implementation of the Remedial Evaluation Instrument (R.E.I.).
- To provide a framework for maintaining nursing performance standards crucial for patient well-being.
Main Methods:
- Conceptual exploration of issues surrounding substandard nursing performance.
- Introduction of the Remedial Evaluation Instrument (R.E.I.) as a novel assessment tool.
- Discussion on challenging conventional Employee Performance Appraisal Evaluations.
Main Results:
- The R.E.I. offers a structured method to evaluate and address performance deficiencies.
