Practice Council

The focus of the Practice Council is to identify and respond to those issues, which affect or have the potential to affect psychiatric clients across the lifespan and psychiatric nursing practice. Our early efforts have been crafting responses to the nationally urgent issue of the use of restraint and seclusion and the rights of children in treatment settings. As we cross over to the year 2012 the council energies will address the changes which touch our professional practice: patient advocacy and behavior management, certification, titling, and support for creating benchmarks for clinical practice via the revision of the standards for Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing Practice.

The Council is working with the Legislative Council and ISPN to follow federal and state legislation and to respond both appropriately and in a timely manner.
