Clinicians hired to provide Education at MLKCH will perform their responsibilities in the framework set forth by Association of Nursing Professional Development [ANPD].  

A defined Scope of Practice exists to articulate a systematic approach to understand the Inputs – Throughputs – Outputs directed at improvement of knowledge, skill or attitude.   It is recognized that an educator needs information or data when a learning need is identified [Inputs].   Sources for this content comes from an Environmental Scan at the organizational or unit level and the learner level.

Developmental and educational processes revolve around the Nursing Professional Development [NPD] Standards of Practice to contribute to the professional growth of practicing nurses and other inter-professional learners. As Inputs vary, so will the Throughputs.  

The Throughputs represent the ‘how’ and ‘what” of the NPD Scope of Practice.  Energy invested in the first two elements is expected to yield Outputs directed to Optimize Care and Health [inpatients, clients, community] of those served.  Tactics used will enhance professional role competence or growth, change and learning at the micro or macro level from which the learning need originated.
