Maximizing the contribution that nurses can make to the health care outcomes is the focus of health workforce planners and funders worldwide. New Zealand, along with many other countries, faces significant taxonomical challenges in developing specialist nursing workforce as nurse specialists and specialty areas of practice are inconsistently defined. Clearly defining and capturing data on current workforces is a challenge shared by many countries impacting on the ability to understand current supply and plan for anticipated increased demand. This article presents an overview of the New Zealand Nurse Specialist Framework (NZNSF) developed through a consensus approach as part of a doctoral study. The NZSNF has already been adopted by some national nursing groups in New Zealand and provides an overarching structure to support coherence, clarity and consistency for nurse specialists. The framework aims to support workforce policy makers in planning effective utilization of the nurse specialist in health care delivery.
最大限度地提高护士对医疗保健成果的贡献，是全球卫生人力规划者和资助者关注的焦点。与许多其他国家一样，新西兰在发展专科护理人力方面面临重大的分类挑战，因为护士专家和专业实践领域的定义并不一致。明确界定并收集当前劳动力的数据，是许多国家共同面临的挑战，这影响了我们了解当前供应情况以及为预期的需求增长制定计划的能力。本文概述了作为博士研究一部分通过共识方法制定的新西兰护士专家框架（NZNSF）。新西兰护士专家框架已被新西兰的一些国家护理团体采用，为护士专家提供了一个总体结构，以支持连贯性、清晰度和一致性。该框架旨在支持劳动力政策制定者规划护士专家在医疗保健服务中的有效利用。
