Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is for learners to:
Develop professional presentation/communication skills.
Demonstrate an advancing understanding of the political landscape of APN practice.
Demonstrate the ability to analyze the literature and be able to disseminate the information orally.
Demonstrate and practice professional communication and leadership, while advancing the education of
peers.
Course Outcomes
1. Analyze the development of advanced practice nursing roles from a historical perspective including the
impact of advanced practice nursing on the healthcare delivery system from the perspective of selected
current reports (i.e. LACE, IOM, etc.)
2. Critically analyze how healthcare systems and APN practice are organized and influenced by ethical, legal,
economic and political factors.
Requirements
For Week 7, there is no case study given to you by the faculty. Instead, you will be creating a recorded
presentation that demonstrates your understanding of LACE principles and their influence on APN practice. This
presentation will be uploaded into the course via Kaltura.
Address the following Topics/Questions:
How do licensure, accreditation, certification, and education (LACE) considerations differ for all four APN
clinical roles (CNP, CNM, CRNA, CNS) for these three states: California, Washington, and Illinois? Provide
evidence for your response.
Discuss what evidence-based strategies should be implemented to achieve continuity between state
regulatory boards? Provide evidence for your response.
Is independent NP practice allowed in your state? Discuss your opinion regarding independent NP practice
in your state. Should NPs be allowed to practice independently? Provide evidence for your response.
Solution:
This paper seeks to compare the LACE requirements for California, Washington, and Illinois states, provide evidence-based strategies that should be implemented to achieve continuity between state regulatory boards, discuss the scope of practice of the state am based (Illinois state) and provide a personal opinion regarding nurse independence.
LACE stands for licensing, accreditation, certification, and education (Carney, 2016). LACE defines the advanced practice nurses’ (APN) practice by recognizing titles, specifying, and approving specialty tracks, as well as clarifying the approaches to development of new roles and focus in population health. While licensure is regulated by state agencies whose legislature defines the requirements for licensure, accreditation entails evaluation of the educational institution for establishment of their credibility as well as their attainment of the requirements as set by the accrediting bodies (Carney, 2016). Certification is used to designate that one owns the knowledge and skills needed for practicing in a particular area of specialty. Education on the other hand includes the bachelor’s, masters, and post-masters/doctoral programs received from an appropriate and accredited educational institution and program………Please click the icon below to purchase full answer at only $10
