Value based care: Implications for nursing

Title : Value based care: Implications for nursing

Abstract:

Value Based Care Value Based Care (VBC) is being incorporated more and more in our healthcare organizations. For practicing nurses, little information has been provided to educate them on the definition as well as the impact on the care they provide. VBC offers nurses the opportunity to improve patient outcomes by increasing efficiency, effectiveness and innovation. This activity will not only define the concept but will explain the trends, the key players, the benefits and the measures of success in value based care. In addition, nursing’s opportunity to have a significant impact will be discussed. 

Audience Take Away Notes:

• Define Value Based Care
• Describe Trends in Value Based Care
• Identify the Key Players in Value Based Care
• Explain the Benefits of Value Based Care
• Summarize the Effect of Value Based Care on Nursing Practice

By understanding the basic tenets of VBC and opportunities to do better with less, nurses can improve care and over time improve patient outcomes, resulting in fewer admissions and better patient quality outcomes.
