Overview:
Advanced practice nursing (APN) is a term used to describe a variety of possible nursing roles operating at an advanced level of practice. The introduction of APN roles is expected to advance primary health care throughout Latin America and the Caribbean, where few such roles exist. The purpose of the paper is to outline an implementation strategy to guide and support the introduction of primary health care APN roles in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Detailed Info:
This paper outlined an implementation strategy to help guide implementation of APN roles in Latin America and the Caribbean, based on an existing framework that strategically organizes the key points identified by nursing leaders at the April 2015 summit. Countries can use this strategy as a tool to guide the implementation of APN roles that are relevant to their unique health care needs and system contexts. The ultimate aim is to contribute to the advancement of universal health by strengthening the contribution of nursing through the introduction of advanced practice nursing.
