Hello Carol,

You probably know about this document, but if you show that you have abided by the decision making process etc.

I'm wondering whether the writers of this review might have come across something - 'delegation' was one of their search terms although it was not productive. But maybe contact them directly on Researchgate:

Byrne, M. W. (2015). Professional practice models for nurses in low-income countries: an integrative review. BMC nursing, 14(1), 44.

Thanks Mary for your help

Are you looking for a communication tool between the RN and the unregulated healthcare worker for task completion or a tool to determine delegation process between the RN and the worker?

Hi Dana

Thanks for looking at my question.  I am more focused on the delegation process rather than the communication that occurs between the two groups.  However I would like to see a communication tool if you have one to share.

Kind regards

Carol

Here is our Delegation Decision Tree from the Nebraska Board of Nursing; I can't tell you if it is homegrown or developed elsewhere but it is very useful.  This is a long link; you could google "Nebraska Board of Nursing Decision Tree" to access directly.

Thanks Marilyn, this is similar to the DMF that the nurses in Australia use.Kind regards

This is an older reference but it is still very applicable. American Assn of Critical Care Nursing, AACN Delegation Handbook. Many of the USA delegation practices are based off of this initial work. You can download it for free at:
