Abstract:

Currently in Brazil the nursing workforce consists of a group of 541,903 nurses and 1,536,505 technicians and assistants. The most extensive survey on a professional category ever undertaken in Latin America is unprecedented and covers a universe of 2,078,772 professionals. The diversity in the distribution and development of nursing professional’s impacts on the safety and quality of care offered to users of different health services and in different regions of the country. The nursing certification program was published in the journal Nursing & Primary Care and presented in an oral session at the 46th Global Nursing Conference 2018 in Las Vegas. The program aims to improve quality care and assist the nursing team by defining roles and actions within the organizational structure. The program has a framework to expand as competencies required for the development of high performance nursing. The Competency Development program was structured in the form of a trail of mandatory knowledge that nurses will have to go through. The team of nurses will have to fully fulfill the credits for the certification of the service (Image 1). The project has six phases distributed in 18 months and indicators that evaluate the performance of the institution. To date, 09 private hospitals of medium and high complexity have joined the program in 2018 and are expected to becertified in 2019.The potential re s u l t s of this project is that n u r s e s w i l l benefit f r o m the combination of skills employed, with greater support and adequacy in relation to the types of work performed in different types of contexts. Patients will benefit from the improvements in the way the nursing care is delivered. The results for the organization is that health financing will be used more e-effectively for a better outcome in relation to patient care, provision of nursing care with adequate combination of skills to adequately meet patients and less financial resources spent on recruitment and retention. The results for the community are greater satisfaction and confidence in the delivery of health services in their local area as a direct consequence of a positive experience with the health service where nurses are using an e- effective and e-efficient caremodel.
