Health Care Environment

The health care environment is in a state of perpetual change.  This in return directly impacts the profession of nursing.  A health care environment is not just the physical building a service is provided in.  It also includes the culture, population, and demographics connected to the organization. 

The health care environment can be looked at on a local, state, or federal level.  This rapidly changing health care environment requires nurses to stay abreast of evidence-based practice in order to maintain quality patient care.  "Change will continue in the health care system, necessitating continuing education to empower nurses to be proactive, not just reactive" (Yoder-Wise, 2011, p. 182).

Supporting artifacts for this outcome include educational resources completed in my final Capstone class.  A STI education program was created.  The staff was trained, and the education pieces were implemented in a local health department.  The brochure is completed, however the PowerPoint is in the process of being narrated.  The practicum required 120+ hours to complete in addition to the required classroom assignments.
