AIIMS Delhi to implement Integrated Nursing Education, Service Model

AIIMS, Delhi has decided to proactively explore the possibility of adopting the Integrated Nursing Education and Service Model, said Dr M Srinivas, the director of the institute.

AIIMS Delhi administration has decided to implement an integrated nursing education and service model. This model aims to enhance the quality of nursing care provided to patients while simultaneously advancing the clinical skills of nursing students.

The Indian Nursing Council, in a letter on April 4, 2019, granted approval for the adoption of an innovative approach - Integration of Nursing Education and Service (Dual Role).

This initiative is expected to optimize the utilization of nursing cadres in both academic and clinical settings, an official said, as reported by The Hindu.

"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," said Dr M Srinivas, the director of the institute.

The terms of reference of the committee include reviewing the Indian Nursing Council's notification on the Integration of Nursing Education and Service (Dual Role). It will also study the experiences and outcomes of institutions that have already implemented a similar model and assess the potential advantages and challenges of implementing the Integrated Nursing Education and Service Model at AIIMS Delhi. The committee will also make a comprehensive proposal for the integration of nursing education and service within the AIIMS Delhi framework.

It will also recommend strategies for the effective implementation of the model, considering the unique context of AIIMS Delhi.

Dr Rima Dada, professor in charge of the media cell, said, "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 optimize the utilization of nursing cadres in both academic and clinical settings."
