How Do You Integrate Role Clarity at the Point of Care? Jayne Felgen, President of Creative Health Care Management explains how Role Clarity and Work Alignment (RCWA), improves the quality of patient care, increases efficiency and gives staff nurses the confidence of to work interdependently with physicians and other disciplines. For two decades, nurses have used Role Clarity and Work Alignment (RCWA) to analyze their work and make decisions about skill mix. Participants, usually Unit Practice Council members, develop an uncanny appreciation for the professional practice of nursing and the opportunity nursing has in improving outcomes of care. In addition, they gain clarity about the nature of their work, what work is appropriate for delegation, the structural relationships that support delegation, and professional practice concepts. The end result of RCWA program is a team that is excited about their work, increases purpose and productivity of team members and enhances patient/family care.
