Looking for an easier path to care planning? Create a map!

Concept mapping is a clear, visual, and systematic model for gathering and categorizing relevant assessment data, identifying patient problems, and developing patient goals, interventions, and outcomes for each nursing diagnosis. A concept map is your guide to nursing care in any clinical setting.

You'll also find a wealth of care planning resources, including a concept map generator, online at Davis's Care Planning & Nursing Diagnosis Resource Center.

Provides the tools needed to construct care plans for any patient, in any setting, based on accepted standards of care.

Introduces critical thinking early in the curriculum.

Works with or without nursing diagnoses.

Saves time and improves clinical performance.

Emphasizes reasoning, improvising, and individualizing patient care.

Teaches how to identify patient needs, then organize, prioritize, and implement care quickly.

Establishes the relationships between medical and nursing diagnoses, physical assessment data, treatments, medications, laboratory data, and history data.
