Effective Delegation for Healthcare

For delegation to be appropriate it is necessary to understand the Board of Nursing’s standards, use effective communication skills, and provide instruction that leads to knowledge and competence. In 2014, limits on the role of unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP), such as the CNA, were removed from the rules of the Idaho Board of Nursing, allowing nurses more freedom in delegating tasks to UAPs. This online web series is a statewide effort intended to clarify how this change will promote high-quality, patient-focused, and cost-effective care in the community environment. Presented By:State of Idaho – Board of NursingIdaho Health Care AssociationIdaho Division of CTEIdaho Department of Health and Welfare This online course is self-paced. After successful registration, the student will have 90 days to access and review the course. A certificate will be generated after successful completion of course work.
