Abstract

The introduction of advanced nursing practice entails a process that includes consideration of what models, frameworks, or prototypes are suitable for use in the healthcare environment. Assessment of the rationale for interest in these new nursing roles and/or the need for advanced nursing practice services is a starting point to guide development. Evaluation of the institutional and healthcare milieu such as conducting an environmental scan and/or SWOT analysis will bring attention and focus to the receptivity for integrating this concept. Committed advocates supportive of advanced practice nursing roles are vital in order to face the challenges that affect not only healthcare systems but also all healthcare professionals employed in provision of services and the populations receiving the services. This chapter offers a framework to use to assess the environment in order to progress through developmental stages. Topics relevant to institutional planning, inclusion of advanced practice nursing roles in diverse practice settings, relationships with other healthcare professionals and service users are discussed. Strategies to support the advanced practice nurse and ethics specific to advanced nursing practice conclude the chapter.
