Community program planning: a clinical outcome.
Healthcare reform has affected all aspects of the healthcare system including nursing education. According to Nursing's Agenda for Health Care Reform, a major focus of future care will be in the community. Critical thinking skills are needed to practice effectively in this domain. Critical thinking has been identified by the NLN as an outcome criteria for baccalaureate education. The following community health project was designed to develop this outcome skill of critical thinking.
