Currently, the nursing community is experiencing revolutionary changes, which have been facilitated by the recent government’s efforts on establishing comprehensive reforms on the country’s healthcare system through different legislations and amendments. These policies have largely increased the number of insured and non-insured patients’ able to receive better health care. The rapid growth in patients’ number with access to healthcare has almost crippled an already challenged system, forcing stakeholders to evaluate and restructure the care delivery system. To get a clear picture of nursing transformations, we need to look at the emerging trends currently influencing patient care.

The Medicare’s Quality Improvement Organization has collaborated with all the local providers to develop, implement and manage the transition between patients from the acute care to a post-care setting, irrespective of whether the patient is at home or other health care facility. Moreover, these points of transitions usually provide a big vulnerability for patients, and hence if poorly managed may result to problems such as readmission of the patients. Currently, the health care providers are utilizing two evidence-based strategies for managing the transition, the Naylor’s Transitional care model and the Coleman’s Care transitional Model (Blais & Hayes, 2011). The Naylor model uses specially trained transitional nurses to deal with those with multiple chronic illnesses and other complicated conditions, whereas the Coleman’s model utilizes the advanced practice nurses as transition agents and is usually applied to chronically ill patients as they transition from one care setting to …show more content…
For example, SPP lobbied for The American Academy of Family Physicians’ Health Care Truth and Transparency bill of 2010 which if passed would have restricted states from expanding the roles and duties of Advanced Practice Nurses (Cherry, 2014). By the virtual number of APNs, their adaptive capacity, their scientific knowledge the health care system should capitalize on the contributions they can bring on board by promoting and remodeling job roles.
Regulatory restrictions have played a big role in slowing the transformation rate of the patient care sector. This can be attributed to numerous scope-of practice regulations that mostly differ substantially from state to state and are excessively restrictive. Though particular states have more favorable legislation than others do, the problem of scope-of practice continues to be a challenge to all Advanced Practice Nurses
