Clinical Advancement Program
The Clinical Advancement Program (CAP) is designed to reward nurses' increasing levels of clinical expertise and commitment to patient care. The implementation and maintenance of such a program enhances the Lourdes Health System's ability to recruit and retain professional nurses who, in turn, contribute to the achievement of quality patient outcomes.
Participating nurses seek to improve through four levels of excellence that are based on minimum years of experience; advanced degrees and specialty certifications; and points attained through certain activities in the domains of Service Delivery, Professional Growth and Development, Clinical Expertise and Research and Education. Those activites include, but are not limited to: service as a population-specific resource; educator in special areas (mock codes, fire drills, etc.); committee participation; service as a preceptor, mentor or adjunct faculty; recognition from local or national nursing organization; community service/volunteerism; participation in or initiation of nursing research; and author of an article published in a journal.

5/2/11 - A minor discrepancy was noted between forms regarding educational activities. The requirements for submission were different on the activity form and the points form. The points form has been updated to meet the original intent. A summary is not required, just a copy of the evaluation method used (post-test, skills checklist or evaluation form). Second, the hospital-wide handwashing PI will be given 1/2 credit of a year-long PI, since it is time limited. This has been added to the revised points form. You can download documents in two ways: using the zip file or the individual files. The zip files contain all word documents for each Domain. If you have difficulty with the zip file, the individual documents are located beneath the zip file. |
