- The Cures Act: What nursing professionals need to know
The 21st Century Cures Act (“Cures Act”) was signed into law in December 2016, with the intention of promoting patients’ ready access to information in their electronic health record. As many of the act’s parameters went into effect on April 5, 2021, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, and other nursing professionals need to understand the act, its benefits and potential risks, and how to protect themselves against legal action.
- Managing moral distress
The COVID-19 pandemic has added to the burden of nurses’ daily work in many areas, including forcing them into situations where they feel moral distress. Failure to manage this distress appropriately can affect nurses’ wellbeing and cause them to leave the profession. But applying strategies to help prevent moral destress or resolving moral distress in a positive way can benefit both nurses and organizations by promoting optimal patient care and reducing staff turnover and the risk of litigation from clinical errors.
