What is CREDO-N®?
CREDO-N® comprehensively diagnoses the quality and application of the hospital’s ‘nursing credo statement’. CREDO-N® is based on our proprietary framework on ‘nursing care philosophy’. CREDO-N® combines four elements of the nursing credo with hierarchical and causal logic. First is the matter of ‘identity and calling’ of the individual nurse. Second is the underlying ‘philosophy (and approach) towards nursing’. In this, CREDO-N® assesses for the three concepts of ‘holistic nursing’, ‘altruistic care model’, and ‘patient centricity’. Third is the matter of skills – specifically the treatment of ‘knowledge’, ‘caring relationships’, ‘quality and safety’ and ‘patient’s journey management’. Fourth is the assessment of ‘enabler mindsets’ – the nurse’s role towards self, towards colleagues, and towards the organisation.

Why worry about "nursing credo"? Why get CREDO-N®?
CREDO-N® believes that the staff nurse lies at the heart of the hospital’s caring model. And the ‘nursing credo statement’, if it exists in the organisation, lies at the heart of the nurse’s care philosophy and care related actions. While the definition of care has advanced during past decades, the nurse’s role has evolved from being ‘the in-charge’ who controls the internal-spiritual and external environment of the patient, to ‘the coach, strategist and integrator’ who unifies the patients mind, body and spirit, manages the journey from admission to discharge, and strategises for the achievement of biologic, psychologic, spiritual and social well-being. By helping develop and implement a powerful nursing credo, CREDO-N® will enable your hospital strengthen its care standards and achieve better patient outcomes.

Where (in which settings) should you get CREDO-N®?
Get CREDO-N® for your hospital’s nursing organisation if you desire to drive any of the following four imperatives. First is the ‘care concept imperative’ – you want your hospital to adopt advanced concepts and philosophies of care and healing. The second is the ‘care implementation’ philosophy. In this situation, while your hospital has seemingly adopted advanced concepts, you remain unconvinced about the implementation standards of the nursing organisation. The third is the ‘professional growth imperative’ – you feel that the nursing organisation lacks desired skills and mindsets needed to advance concepts of care. Fourth is the ‘reputation imperative’. In this situation, you have observed niggling feedback from patients and families that point to a nursing organisation suffering from weak work ethos and care philosophy.

How does CREDO-N® work?
CREDO-N® is a product designed for annual or biennial usage. While using CREDO-N®, you will undergo the four stages of ‘installation’, ‘engagement’, ‘analysis’ and ‘dissemination’ over eight weeks. During the process of installation, you will need to decide product scope by choosing from the options available within the credo elements of ‘philosophy’, ‘skills’ and ‘enabling mindsets’. You will also identify the responders that will include individuals primarily from the nursing organisation and clinical care departments. CREDO-N® will then engage with these individuals through a process of guided reflection and learning. The final CREDO-N® output for hospital leadership will include a diagnostic assessment of the nursing credo, should one exist, and a full set of possibilities for the new or revamped credo statement.

When during the financial year should you get CREDO-N®?
From start, CREDO-N® requires eight weeks for the ‘installing’, ‘engaging’, ‘analysing’ and ‘disseminating’ phases. CREDO-N® is designed to be of a diagnostic nature, and hence can be initiated anytime during the financial or operating year. It is not linked to existing processes within nursing. Rather, it is linked to the existence of the four imperatives outlined above (viz., ‘care concept’, ‘care implementation’, ‘professional growth’ and ‘reputation’ imperatives). Therefore, get CREDO-N® whenever you sense a need for these imperatives, without concern for coordinating with other nursing processes. Nevertheless, you need to ensure that CREDO-N® output gets built into the human resource aspects of nursing such as care standard definition, training and development, and clinical supervision.
