Session III: Innovations in Education Regulation Committee Forum

26Session Book | NCSBN 2009 Annual MeetingUnlocking the Possibilities: The Key to Regulatory Excellence 2

BackgroundMarch 25, 2008: NCSBN invited education, regulation and practice leaders to discuss fostering innovation in nursing education: Analyzed possible barriers to implementing

innovations (by education, practice and regulation). Discussed maintaining quality while

implementing innovation. Discussed the future vision of nursing.

Exemplars on innovations in nursing education were presented In-depth discussion took place about

fostering innovation

Background 2007-08 Faculty Qualifications Committee

Recommendation:Made recommendations that educators and

regulators work together more closely to foster innovation in nursing education.

Board of Directors established the Innovations in Education Regulation Committee for 2008-09




2008-09 Charges for Innovations in Education Committee

1) Identify real and perceived regulatory barriers

2) Develop a regulatory model for innovative education proposals

Activities to meet charges Detailed report that includes:Literature reviewDefinitions

Flyer for BONs to distribute to educators to begin dialogue on innovations

Activities to meet chargesDeveloped model rules for fosteringinnovations for membership to consider: Open doors for educators to develop

innovations Way of building knowledge for quality

innovations Maintain core quality indicators for public

protection




Essentials of the model rules Article IX. Section 3. Provision for

innovative approaches in nursing education programs.

The Board shall, by administrative rule, identify the process for implementing innovative approaches in nursing education programs.

Essentials of the model rules

Operational definition: Innovative approach – A creative nursing education strategy that departs from the current rule structure and requires Board approval for implementation.

Essentials of the model rulesPurposes:

1) To foster innovative models of nursing education to address the changing needs in health care.

2) To assure that innovative approaches are conducted in a manner consistent with the Board’s role of protecting the public.

3) To assure that innovative approaches conform to the quality outcome standards and core education criteria established by the Board.



Essentials of the model rulesEligibility Criteria:

1. The nursing education program shall hold full Board approval without conditions.

2. There are no substantiated complaints in the past 2 years.

3. There are no rule violations in the past 2 years.


Application:

Specifics provided

1-page executive summary

Jurisdiction decides # of pages (educators suggest limiting to 10)


Seven standards for approval:

Key: The innovative approach will not compromise the quality of education or safe practice of students.

Must submit evaluation plan





Review of application and Board action:

Must meet standards of approval and eligibility criteria

Board may limit numbers, based on resources

Essentials of model rules

Periodic evaluation:

Describes ongoing evaluation

Discusses remedies for students who might be adversely affected

Essentials of model rules

Request for continuation of innovativeApproach: Continued approval may be sought if the

innovative approach has achieved desired outcomes, has not compromised public protection, and is consistent with core nursing education criteria.



We heard you!

Membership worried about compromising core standards – is eligibility requirement

Changed from “waiving” or “exempting” to current legislative language of “innovative approach”

Length of application limited

Continued concerns

Limiting numbers of applications

“Our rules are already flexible enough”

Remember:

Your Board may not need to incorporate these because your current rules are flexible and allow for innovation, but other Boards would like a template for fostering innovations.

You can adapt these to meet your needs.




Other committee recommendations for staff:1. NCSBN will create a Web site to serve as

a clearinghouse for those innovative education approaches that Boards of Nursing approve.

2. If the model rules are adopted at the 2009 Delegate Assembly, NCSBN will disseminate that information in NCSBN’s new journal, in Leader to Leader, and in Council Connector, for the purpose of encouraging innovative approaches.

Other committee recommendations for staff:

3. NCSBN will establish a plan to evaluate whether Boards of Nursing have adopted the innovation model rules and whether they have been effective in fostering innovations in nursing education.

“The two most important requirements for major success are: first, being in the right place at the right time, and second, doing something about it.”
