Components of SMART Goals in Nursing The

Components of SMART Goals in Nursing The SMART goals can be best described as follows: S-Specific What is the goal that is trying to be obtained? For example, a nurse wants to decrease the time it takes to document by two hours in order to offer more direct patient care. The nurse can implement an improved work routine schedule that focuses on how to document efficiently. M-Measureable How will I measure my progress? The time the nurse spends on documentation will be monitored and tracked during each shift and the time it takes to complete documentation should decrease once the goals are put in place. A-Attainable Do I have the skills needed to complete the goals? The nurse will need to access resources that focus on efficient documentation skills while still providing optimal care. R-Relevant Why is this goal important to me? Spending too much time documenting can lead to decreased and less than optimum patient care. If a nurse focuses on efficient documentation and decreasing the amount it takes to document by two hours per shift, the nurse will free up more time to assess his/her patients in a precise manner, work with families/caregivers, and strive to focus on more direct patient-centered care. T-Timely When will I achieve the goal I have set? The nurse should be specific as far as setting a calculated time in which the goal needs to be achieved. For example, the nurse wants to decrease the amount he/she spends documenting each shift by two hours if possible, as long as no emergency situation is taking place. The goal will have a set date to be reached by the 15th of the next month. 1.two SMART goals focused on your upcoming clinical practice Must follow SMART formathttps: //nursingcecentral.com/the-use-of-smart-goals-in-nursing/ ex: nursing skills like wound care, IV, communication 2.
