Optimizing The Implementation of Nursing Credentials: A Literature Review

Subject

clinical authority,
clinical nurse,
nursing credentials

Description

Introduction: The credentialing process is a series of expertise verifications
to obtain clinical authority, especially for nurses. This literature review
aimed to gain further exposure to implementing nursing credentials and
determine whether the implementation is optimal.
Methods: The method used a literature review. Article searches were
carried out via PubMed, Google Scholar, and Wiley using the keywords
“nursing credential” while searching in English articles and the keyword
“kredensial perawat” in an article in Bahasa. A total of fifteen articles were
extracted based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Results: Nurses are expected to provide services by their clinical
competence and authority through the credentialing process. Many studies
showed that the implementation of credentials still needs to be improved.
The main challenge found in many studies regarding the implementation
of credentials is the overlapping of duties by the credentials committee.
Conclusion: If the credentialing process is carried out correctly and
optimally following existing laws and regulations, it will benefit nurses and
hospitals significantly. These benefits include, among others, the fact that
nurses can optimize the nursing care provided and provide legal
protection because nurses have carried out competencies by their
authority. Meanwhile, hospitals can improve the quality of service,
maintain patient safety, and increase patient and family satisfaction.
