3 Mississippi University for Women Graduate Nursing DEPARTMENT MASTER EVALUATION PLAN W orking Toward Excellence Introduction to the Graduate Nursing Master Evaluation Plan The School of Nursing strategic plan utilizes a multi-faceted approach when evaluating data to evidence program effectiveness. This multi-faceted approach incorporates qualitative and quantitative data, from all three nursing programs. Information is obtained from a wide variety of sources, including students, alumni, faculty and other communities of interest. In previous years the Department of Nursing (DON) created a strategic plan in which initiatives drove policy for three to five years. Realizing that the present health care environment changes more rapidly than ever before, the DON has elected to look at strategic planning initiatives yearly rather than every three to five years. With this thought in mind, the MSN program Master Evaluation Plan was adapted and revised to include the DNP and Post-Graduate APRN Certificate programs. The Master Evaluation Plan was revised in 2013 to create a more comprehensive plan that ascribes to two theoretical bases: Total Quality Management and The Balanced Score Card. The Graduate Nursing Programs provide input into the Department of Nursing s Strategic Plan utilizing ongoing, systematic evaluation guided by the Master Evaluation Plan. R. S. Kaplan and D. P. rton (1992) introduced the concept of The Balanced Scorecard- Measures that Drive Performance. Drawing from this theory and and AACN, ANA Guidelines and IHL Guidelines the faculty divided the Master Evaluation Plan into four categories: Mission and Governance, Institutional Commitment and Resources, Curriculum and Teaching-Learning Practices, and Program Effectiveness. The faculty believes that each of the four categories is of equal importance, thus each category is given a 25% ranking. In each category CCNE key elements (standards) were utilized. For each key element (standard) the faculty developed outcome benchmarks utilizing CCNE, ANCC, NTF and IHL standards. The outcome benchmarks are qualitative, quantitative, internal, external, and process in nature thus providing an overall program performance evaluation. Evaluation data are collected on a planned, periodic basis according to the Master Calendar for Evaluation. For the purposes of evaluation, the faculty is subdivided into four Ad-Hoc committees: Mission and Governance, Institutional Commitment and Resources, Curriculum and Teaching-Learning Practices, and Program Effectives. These committees correlate with the categories within the Master Evaluation Plan. Each committee gathers aggregate data from a wide variety of sources. The aggregate data are compiled utilizing committee worksheets, which organize the data to better facilitate data analysis. After a faculty committee collects data, the entire Graduate Nursing faculty analyzes the data utilizing TQM tools and techniques. Once the data are analyzed the faculty scores each of the four areas thus obtaining scorecard results. The scorecard results assist the faculty in prioritizing strategic planning initiatives for the following year. A Total Quality Management approach is utilized when opportunities for program improvement are identified within one of the four categories based on scorecard results. These opportunities for improvement allow the faculty to work toward a 100% scorecard result in each category. To this end the faculty envisions this process as Working Toward Excellence.

4 Mississippi University for Women Graduate Nursing DEPARTMENT MASTER EVALUATION PLAN W orking Toward Excellence Department of Graduate Nursing: DNP, MSN, Post-Graduate APRN Certificate Program Purposes The purpose of the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program is congruent with the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Essentials of Doctoral Education for Advanced Nursing Practice (2006). The DNP program is a practice-focused doctoral program designed to prepare nurses at the highest level of nursing practice to lead in applying and translating research into practice in local, state, national, and global health systems. The focus of the DNP program is on evidence-based practice reflecting synthesis, application, and translation of credible research findings. The DNP program includes integrative practice experiences and an intense practice immersion experience that prepares advanced practice nurses caring for populations in primary and specialty care settings with emphasis on chronic illness management. The purpose of the Master of Science in Nursing program is to prepare advanced practice nurses by expanding and refining a broad base of knowledge and skills of baccalaureate education incorporating the experiential background of the professional nurse. This purpose relates to the Mission of the University by providing professional education at the master s level that emphasizes advanced academic preparation of specialized knowledge and competencies through the process of role mastery. Program Philosophies The philosophy of the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program is congruent with University mission that emphasizes high-quality education, personalized learning environment, and attention to research, scholarship, and creativity to advance knowledge. Consistent with the Baccalaureate program philosophy, the DNP program seeks to further prepare leaders who are dedicated to the improvement of health care outcomes at the local, state, national, and global levels. Like the Master of Science in Nursing program, the philosophy of the DNP program includes advanced nursing practice and evidence-based practice foci. An additional area of emphasis is chronic illness. Mastery of these foci may occur in through Post-BSN to DNP preparation or through MSN to DNP preparation. Through either route, the DNP program philosophy holds that the basis for the highest level of nursing practice is the integration of nursing knowledge from the biophysical, psychosocial, analytical, and organizational sciences. Further, education at the DNP level provides a basis for translating evidence-based research findings into safe, high-quality clinical practice for a wide variety of patient populations. Finally, DNP-educated advance practice nurses are uniquely prepared to emerge as leaders utilizing a blend of clinical knowledge, organizational skills, economic understanding, political awareness, and technological proficiency to impact patient outcomes in complex health systems. The Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program extends and refines the knowledge and skills of the baccalaureate-prepared nurse while integrating findings from the sciences and the humanities, biopsychosocial fields, genetics, public health, quality improvement, health economics, translational science and organizational sciences in order to provide care to diverse populations of patients in clinical and community-based systems. Attainment of advanced knowledge and competencies occurs through the process of role mastery, moving from novice to expert, in order to provide nursing interventions that influence healthcare outcomes for individuals/families across the lifespan, populations, or systems. The educational process is guided by three foci: primary care, advanced nursing practice, and evidence based practice. Primary care emphasizes health promotion and health maintenance for individuals, families, and populations in addition to managing and monitoring acute and chronic illnesses. This diversity of care is patient centered and culturally appropriate with evidence-based goals and modalities of care. Advanced nursing practice is autonomous and focuses on knowledge and competencies for the specialized role of the family nurse practitioner. In this role, the advanced practice nurse functions 3
5 Mississippi University for Women Graduate Nursing DEPARTMENT MASTER EVALUATION PLAN W orking Toward Excellence independently, is accountable as a direct provider of care, and is an advocate for patients, families, caregivers, populations and members of the healthcare team. Inherent in advanced nursing practice is leadership in order to provide for high-quality nursing care, healthcare team coordination, patient safety and quality improvement, and for understanding health care delivery systems assisting with identifying the economic, ethical, legal, and political factors that influence health care. Advanced practice nursing involves self-evaluation for continuing scholarship, professional growth, and excellence in practice. Therefore, the advanced practice nurse is prepared to pursue doctoral education. Evidence based practice provides opportunity for integration of nursing research, primary care, and leadership with the science of nursing. Post-Graduate APRN Certificate Program (RN-FNP and NP-FNP tracks): The faculty believes that nursing professionals who already hold a Master s degree in nursing within a defined area of advanced nursing practice should be afforded the opportunity to enhance that preparation by incorporating the specialized role of the nurse practitioner into their existing skill sets. The post-master s certificate program is designed to prepare those nurses, already grounded in research and theory and proficient in their specialties, to become clinically competent nurse practitioners. This is accomplished by educating these students clinically alongside traditional Master s students so they may gain equitable knowledge and skills as primary care nurse practitioners rooted in the latest evidence base for advanced practice.
