A Case-Based Curriculum With the Nurse as Coach
Background:
Nurses need new skill sets that emphasize health outcomes and cost reduction. A bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) program partnered with community agencies to design a curriculum to address these skills.
Method:
Two focus groups were conducted with 24 participants employed as care coordinators, nurse coaches, or health navigators.
Results:
Three themes and subgroups emerged that guided a curriculum design that emphasized case-based rather than place-based client focus, coaching as a curriculum thread, and new and varied community experiences. Community health concepts were introduced early and reinforced throughout. Health coaching was identified as a powerful framework and tool to address client needs. Further study is needed to measure outcomes of the new curriculum.
Conclusion:
Changing paradigms in nursing education is challenging. Care coordination and coaching skills can broaden the competency base of RNs and can be included in a BSN curriculum. More study is needed to measure outcomes. [J Nurs Educ. 2016;55(5):292-295.].
