Articulated Plan Sample Template
Instructions
The Nurse-Physician Advisory Taskforce for Colorado Healthcare (NPATCH) has created a template to help Advance Practice Nurses create an articulated plan for safe prescribing.
C.R.S. ��12-38-111.6(4.5)(b)(II)(A-D) states ��(a)n Articulated plan��shall include at least the following:
The four parts of the Plan should be customized by the APN to fit the setting, population focus, certification, and other unique attributes of his or her practice.
The Board of Nursing has created rules
for Articulated Plans.
This template, along with the examples
of possible customized language, was created to give you ideas to create
the best plan for yourself.
The examples provided are neither required nor inclusive. Each APN may choose to include some, all, or none of the examples provided. Examples will not be relevant to each APN��s practice.
Use what is useful, ignore what is
not.
The Children��s
Hospital Template
The Children��s Hospital has created
the attached template specifically for use by APN��s at TCH. The four
required sections each have two components: The first includes generic
examples of tools and opportunities available at TCH to support safe
prescribing and second, an area to allow each APN or department to customize
to their areas.
