Overview
Organizational structure delineates the work of the organization including chain of command, authority, and the formal communication network. A professional practice model is a guiding theoretical and conceptual framework that provides the foundation for nursing professional practice within an organization.
In a discussion board post:
Describe the structure of your organization (functional, matrix, parallel).
What professional practice model is in place?
Does the practice model work well within the organization’s structure?
How is evidence-based practice integrated into the practice model? Provide specific examples and rationale.
Your initial post must be posted before you can view and respond to colleagues, must contain minimum of two (2) references, in addition to examples from your personal experiences to augment the topic. The goal is to make your post interesting and engaging so others will want to read/respond to it. Synthesize and summarize from your resources in order to avoid the use of direct quotes, which can often be dry and boring. No direct quotes are allowed in the discussion board posts.
