The University of Phoenix College of Health
Professions recently released the results of an online survey that garnered
information about the increasing role of registered nurses and hospital
administrators, as well as their views of the future of their professions.
“How we care for patients is as dynamic of
a process as the individuals themselves,” University of Phoenix College of
Health Professions Executive Dean Doris Savron said. “Health care staff, including
registered nurses and administrative staff, are the lifeblood of the health care
system. As they are increasingly tasked with more responsibility, it is
essential that they are prepared to meet the demands of patient care and
management to ensure quality care.”
According to the survey, 81 percent of
registered nurses and 78 percent of administration staff feel that patient care
is increasingly being shifted into their hands, including a larger
responsibility for patients’ emotional well-being, 37 percent and 31 percent,
respectively, and an increase in their role in overall patient care
planning, 49 percent and 35 percent,
respectively. Both groups also felt that patients should be very concerned
about the quality of care provided.
“Innovative solutions like nurses’ and
health care administrators’ use of technology and informatics are essential to
preparing tomorrow’s health care leaders, and can help ensure better patient
outcomes,” Savron said. “University of Phoenix has designed programs to prepare
nurses and health care administrators to stay on the pulse of the
rapidly-evolving health care industry, including offering curriculum in timely
areas of need like informatics, gerontology, and sustainability management.”
