Abstract :

Purpose: The purpose of this presentation is to describe the development of a professional practice model (PPM) for Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs). Data sources: A literature review was conducted on professional practice models. Simultaneous review of authoritative resources including The National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties (NONPF) and the Licensure, Accreditation, Certification and Education (LACE) Consensus Model was performed. An expert panel was established to validate the Transformational Advanced Professional Practice (TAPP) Model. Conclusion: APRNs are relied upon by organizations to provide leadership in the delivery of high-quality, cost effective health care while improving access and eliminating preventable morbidities. Existing models fail to fully capture the professional scope of practice for APRNs. The TAPP Model serves as a framework to guide professional development and mentorship of APRNs in seven domains of professional practice (DOPP). Implications for practice: To meet the Institute of Medicine�s recommendations for the future of nursing, APRNs should practice to the fullest extent of their education and training. Providing clarification regarding the DOPP of the APRN role is needed to standardized professional practice. The TAPP Model is an inspiring blueprint that allows APRNs to model the way by delivering comprehensive health in seven DOPP.
