III. Evidence-Based Practices in Nursing Management DR. ANNE ROSE L. CALIMLIM, MAN, RN  Development of Nursing Standards in the Philippines Legal Bases The development of nursing standards emanated from Article III, Sec.4 (h) of Republic Act No. 7164 (Philippine Nursing Act of 1991) which enumerated the powers, duties, and functions of the Professional Regulatory Board of Nursing (PRBON). BON Resolution No. 82 issued on September 30, 1998, adopted and incorporated the Standards of Safe Nursing Practice. In 2001, the Association of Nursing Service Administrators of the Philippines (ANSAP), together with the PRBON and the Philippines Nurses Association (PNA), developed the Standards of Nursing Services. These initiatives were further strengthened with the passing of the R.A. 9173 (Philippine Nursing Act of 2002). Article III, Sec.9 (c) of the law states that: the PRBON is empowered to monitor and enforce quality standards of nursing practice in the Philippines and exercise the powers necessary to ensure the maintenance of efficient, ethical, and technical, moral and professional standards in the practice of nursing taking into account the health needs of the nation.”  Development of Nursing Standards in the Philippines Legal Bases The 2005 standards identified four major competencies of a beginning nurse: (1) Patient Care Competencies; (2) Empowering Competencies; (3) Enhancing Competencies; and (4) Enabling Competencies. Then in 20009, the PRBON undertook the extensive and comprehensive review of the 2005 nursing core competency standards. PRBON, Commission on Higher Education-Technical Committee on Nursing Education (CHED-TCNE), and the UP Manila College of Nursing revisited the process which included scenario analysis, benchmarking core competency standards with other countries, field validation studies on the nurses’ roles and responsibilities in the hospitals and community settings, integrative review of output from the validation strategies, presentation of validation analysis, core competency validation, and public consultation. 2012 National Nursing Core Competency Standards (NNCCS) A.
