Abstract

In this chapter, the importance of planning and leadership during the development of new advanced practice nursing models is presented. The PEPPA (participatory, evidence-informed, patient-centered process for advanced practice nursing role development, implementation, and evaluation) framework is also presented as a method whereby organizations can work strategically, systematically, and in a goal-oriented manner when implementing new advanced practice nursing models. The systematic evaluation of advanced practice nursing roles is needed to ensure sustainable development. Research shows that inconsistent professional and organizational support leads to problems and challenges in the development and implementation of new advanced practice nursing models. Consequently, clear support for new demanding nursing roles is needed from leaders and professional and trade organizations, alongside professional regulation.
