New Delhi: The administration of AIIMS Delhi has chosen to implement an integrated nursing education and service model at the renowned medical institute.
In a letter dated April 4, 2019, the Indian Nursing Council granted approval for the adoption of a novel approach – the Integration of Nursing Education and Service (Dual Role).
The primary goal of this model is to improve the quality of nursing care for patients and simultaneously enhance the clinical skills of nursing students.
An official mentioned that this initiative is expected to efficiently utilise nursing personnel in both academic and clinical settings.
Several institutions, such as the College of Nursing at CMC Vellore and St. John College of Nursing at SJMCH, Bangalore, have successfully implemented a similar model.
Their success demonstrates the potential of this approach to bridge the gap between theory and practice, elevate nursing standards, and optimise the roles of nursing personnel within the healthcare domain.
Dr. M. Srinivas, the director of AIIMS Delhi, stated, “In light of these successful implementations, AIIMS, Delhi has decided to proactively explore the possibility of adopting the Integrated Nursing Education and Service Model. To evaluate the feasibility and modalities of this implementation, the administration has constituted a dedicated committee comprised of key stakeholders.”
The committee’s responsibilities include reviewing the Indian Nursing Council’s notification on the Integration of Nursing Education and Service (Dual Role).
It also includes studying the experiences and outcomes of institutions that have already implemented a similar model, and evaluating the potential benefits and challenges of implementing the Integrated Nursing Education and Service Model at AIIMS Delhi.
The committee will develop a comprehensive proposal for the integration of nursing education and service within the AIIMS Delhi framework.
It will also provide recommendations for effective implementation, considering the unique context of AIIMS Delhi. The committee is expected to submit its recommendations by November 30, 2023.
“This groundbreaking model aims to enhance the quality of nursing care provided to patients while simultaneously advancing the clinical skills of nursing students. This initiative is also expected to optimise the utilisation of nursing cadres in both academic and clinical settings,” said Dr. Rima Dada, the professor in charge of the media cell.
