We all know Nursing Process. It is the essential core of our practice and has been engrained in us from our basic training forward. And we know patient and family-centered care is essential in designing a plan of care that will achieve optimal outcomes. We will review nursing process, but more importantly in this presentation is how the RN in the CCTM role will enhance nursing process. Health coaching to facilitate behavior change over time, self-management, autonomy, informed decision making, accessing resources and adherence to the medical regimen will also be discussed. Critical thinking is applied in every step; and the knowledge, skills, and attitudes will be identified with emphasis on the CCTM role.
