Practice Development in Nursing
Introduction
Modern health care demonstrates a shift from traditional approaches to health care to a more practice developed form of nursing care focused on the tasks, rituals and collaboration all geared towards a patient oriented model of care founded on quality, professionalism, patient education and continuous evaluation. The PRAXIS evaluation process is an “innovative framework that aims at capturing the dynamic subtleties of an individual, team and organizational transformation within the complexity of contemporary health care contexts (Roth and Tobin, 2001 p 341). The model captures the collaborative, inclusive and participatory elements of practice development to ensure successful realization of developmental initiatives. The purpose of this assignment is to provide an experience of using PRAXIS evaluation framework to plan, implement and deliver an evaluation process that gives critical attention to capturing, analyzing aspects of process and outcome (Kagan, Cowling and Chinn, 2010 p 69). The model of practice will expose and critically make consideration and utilization for various dynamics involved in a healthcare transformation process. The case study to be analyzed in this case involves analysis of a PRAXIs evaluation of case involving the introduction of evidence based practice within a Melbourne Community Centre.
