Abstract
With primary care NPs functioning in varied settings and roles requiring additional CPS knowledge and skills, NPs have expressed lack of preparedness regarding CPS. Although some evidence identified those CPS considered important to and frequently performed by NPs, the literature provides insufficient evidence to identify the CPS performed most frequently and rated as most important by primary care NPs in practice, and existing curricular standards lack clarity regarding which CPS to include in program curricula. This project aimed to conduct a practice analysis of the most frequently performed and most important CPS to primary care NPs in one region of the country to provide data to inform regional and national stakeholders regarding the current state of primary care NP CPS, and to guide standardization of primary care NP CPS curricular requirements. The Donabedian Model provided the theoretical underpinning for this project. The model component Structure represented academia and CCNE, individual state/jurisdiction boards of nursing, and the individual clinical practice settings. The model component Process represented the NP's CPS knowledge and skills to diagnose and treat his patient in accordance with established practice standards. The model component Outcomes represented the patient's receipt of high-quality care to facilitate improved health, and delivery of high-quality care also represented the outcome for the practice settings.
