What is the Clinical Advancement Program (CAP)?
CAP recognizes and rewards healthcare professionals for enhanced clinical and professional practice that aids in achieving optimal patient, 单位/部门, and organizational outcomes.
CAP is based on the theoretical framework of Dr. Patricia Benner’s From Novice to Expert, using the Dreyfus Model of Skill Acquisition. The focus of CAP is on Patient and Family Centered Care to provide optimal patient outcomes and to achieve our mission. The five essential values (教育, 专业ism, 资源, 协作, & Holistic Care) of our clinical practice at 推荐最近最火的赌博软件, and the forces of each value, contribute to the success of achieving our focus. This program is coordinated through the CAP Committee and the 专业 Development System Council.
CAP is a voluntary program. Eligible staff need to apply for entrance into the program. There are several programs to choose from: CAP, N-CAP, U-CAP, and (coming soon) LPN-CAP!
