Goals and Outcomes
Goals and Learning Outcomes
Inpatient nursing care is not the same as ambulatory care. When nurses transition into an ambulatory environment, some key concepts can help one understand the characteristic background and needs of the ambulatory field. Specific preceptor strategies can facilitate successful transitions into ambulatory care by providing individualized learning and adequate support throughout the transition process. The goal of this course is to provide information about the differences between acute and ambulatory care settings and how to achieve a successful transition from the acute care setting to ambulatory care.

After taking this course, you should be able to:

  • Identify major societal and healthcare industry changes and their impact on ambulatory care practice
  • List at least three differences between ambulatory care settings and inpatient settings
  • Discuss reasons that nurses are motivated to practice in ambulatory care
  • Discuss challenges faced by nurses transitioning from inpatient to ambulatory care settings
  • Describe preceptor strategies to facilitate a successful transition into ambulatory care
  • Identify at least three differences between ambulatory care settings and inpatient settings and how societal and healthcare industry changes have increased the prevalence of ambulatory care settings.
  • Recognize specific challenges faced by nurses transitioning from inpatient to ambulatory care settings and recall strategies to facilitate a successful transition into ambulatory care.
