This book will clearly define and explain delegation as a concept in health care practice, equipping readers to successfully deliver, manage and lead increasingly complex patient care.
Delegation is a core health care activity where healthcare practitioners supervise and support other members of the multidisciplinary team to deliver patient care.It is a core leadership skill that involves risk assessment and management, impacts patient satisfaction and quality of care, and has a substantial financial impact if undertaken incorrectly. This text introduces the topic, addressing issues around accountability and responsibility in clinical practice, along with an analysis of barriers and enablers to delegation. It discusses delegation governance with links to models, tools and legislation. Delegation safety is explored through the physiotherapist lens, and the importance of collaboration when delegating in multidisciplinary teams within the prison setting. Delegation from an international perspective and sources of support and supervision are considered. It ends with a discussion of advanced nursing practice and delegation.
