Summary
Nurses significantly impact healthcare costs through resource decisions. Value-informed nursing practice integrates patient outcomes with care costs for enhanced healthcare value.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Practice
- Healthcare Management
- Health Economics
Background:
- Nurses are pivotal in daily resource allocation within healthcare settings.
- Nursing practice directly influences both the quality and safety of patient care, as well as associated costs.
- The current healthcare landscape necessitates a focus on the economic aspects of care delivery.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce the concept of 'value-informed nursing practice'.
- To define value-informed nursing practice as a framework that considers both patient outcomes and the cost of care.
- To present this concept as a novel approach to envisioning and executing nursing practice.
Main Methods:
- This article is conceptual, presenting a framework rather than empirical data.
- It defines and elaborates on the principles of value-informed nursing practice.
- Part 1 of a six-part series establishing the foundation for this practice.
Main Results:
- Value-informed nursing practice is defined as a paradigm shift in nursing.
- This practice emphasizes the dual consideration of clinical outcomes and financial costs.
- It provides a new perspective for nurses in decision-making regarding resource utilization.
Conclusions:
- Value-informed nursing practice offers a structured approach to optimizing healthcare value.
- Integrating cost considerations into nursing practice is essential for sustainable healthcare.
- This concept encourages nurses to be leaders in both quality care and cost-effective resource management.
