The Nurse Professional Development Model (NPD) has been utilized to improve quality of care for several conditions. Patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD) are susceptible to higher risks while in the hospital. Educational efforts for this patient population are challenged by the small, disbursed number of patients as well as increased turn-over and reliance on temporary nursing staff. To properly care for this patient group, any education has to be hospital wide and ongoing for maintenance of competency. We have used the NPD Model to initiate education for new incoming nurses as well as for continued education for a program that requires hospital-wide reach. Our utilization of the NPD Model for this high risk, low volume patient population has helped us improve the safety of this patient population in the hospital. With this manuscript we detail the need and the educational platform with the hope of it serving as a reference for other institutions facing similar challenges.
护士专业发展模式（NPD）已被用于改善多种病症的护理质量。帕金森病（PD）患者在住院期间易面临更高风险。针对这一患者群体的教育工作面临挑战，原因包括患者数量少且分散，以及人员更替增加和对临时护理人员的依赖。为妥善护理这一患者群体，任何教育都必须在全院范围内持续开展，以维持护理能力。我们已运用NPD模式对新入职护士进行教育，并针对一个需要全院参与的项目开展继续教育。我们将NPD模式应用于这一高风险、低数量的患者群体，有助于提高该患者群体在医院的安全性。在本手稿中，我们详细阐述了需求和教育平台，希望能为面临类似挑战的其他机构提供参考。
