AACN DOMAINS FOR NURSING
Domain 1: Knowledge for Nursing Practice -
integration, translation, and application of established and evolving disciplinary
nursing knowledge and ways of knowing, as well as knowledge from other disciplines,
including a foundation in liberal arts and natural and social sciences. This distinguishes
the practice of professional nursing and forms the basis for clinical judgment and
innovation in nursing practice.
Contextual Statement: Knowledge of Nursing Practice provides the context for
understanding nursing as a scientific discipline. The lens of nursing, informed by nursing
history, knowledge, and science, reflects nursing's desire to incorporate multiple
perspectives into nursing practice, leading to nursing's unique way of knowing and
caring.
Domain 2: Person-Centered Care -
Person-centered care focuses on the individual within multiple complicated
contexts, including family and/or important others. Person-centered care is holistic,
individualized, just, respectful, compassionate, coordinated, evidence-based, and
developmentally appropriate. Person-centered care builds on a scientific body of
knowledge that guides nursing practice regardless of specialty or functional area.
Contextual Statement: Person-centered care is the core purpose of nursing as a
discipline. This purpose intertwines with any functional area of nursing practice, from the
point of care where the hands of those that give and receive care meet, to the point of
systems-level nursing leadership.
Domain 3: Population Health -
Population health spans the healthcare delivery continuum from public health
prevention to disease management of populations and describes collaborative activities
with both traditional and non-traditional partnerships from affected communities, public
health, industry, academia, health care, local government entities, and others for the
improvement of equitable population health outcomes
Contextual Statement:
-Nurses play a critical role in advocating for, developing, and implementing policies that
impact population health globally and locally. In addition, nurses respond to crises and
provide care during emergencies, disasters, epidemics, or pandemics. The purpose of
these collaborative activities, including development of interventions and policies, is to
strive towards health equity and improved health for all.
Domain 4: Scholarship for Nursing Practice -
The generation, synthesis, translation, application, and dissemination of nursing
knowledge to improve health and transform health care.
Contextual Statement: Nursing scholarship informs science, enhances clinical practice,
influences policy, and impacts best practices for educating nurses as clinicians,
scholars, and leaders. Scholarship is inclusive of discovery, application, integration, and

Domain 4: Scholarship for Nursing Practice - ✔The generation, synthesis, translation, application, and dissemination of nursing knowledge to improve health and transform health care. Contextual Statement: Nursing scholarship informs science, enhances clinical practice, influences policy, and impacts best practices for educating nurses as clinicians, scholars, and leaders. Scholarship is inclusive of discovery, application, integration, and

teaching. While not all inclusive, the scholarship of discovery includes primary empirical research, analysis of large data sets, theory development, and methodological studies. The scholarship of practice interprets, draws together, applies, and brings new insight to original research (Boyer, 1990; AACN 2018). Domain 5: Quality and Safety - ✔Employment of established and emerging principles of safety and improvement science. Quality and safety, as core values of nursing practice, enhance quality and minimize risk of harm to patients and providers through both system effectiveness and individual performance. Contextual Statement: -Quality and safety are interdependent, as safety is a necessary attribute of quality care. For quality health care to exist, care must be safe, effective, timely, efficient, equitable, and person-centered. Quality care is the extent to which care services improve desired health outcomes and are consistent with patient preferences and current professional knowledge (IOM, 2001). Additionally, quality care includes collaborative engagement with the recipient of care in assuming responsibility for health promotion and illness treatment behaviors. Quality care both improves desired health outcomes, and prevents harm (IOM, 2001). Domain 6: Interprofessional Partnerships - ✔Intentional collaboration across professions and with care team members, patients, families, communities, and other stakeholders to optimize care, enhance the healthcare experience, and strengthen outcomes. Contextual Statement: Professional partnerships which include interprofessional, intraprofessional, and paraprofessional partnerships, build on a consistent demonstration of core professional values (altruism, excellence, caring, ethics, respect, communication, and shared accountability) in the provision of team-based, person- centered care. Domain 7: Systems-Based Practice - ✔Responding to and leading within complex systems of health care. Nurses effectively and proactively coordinate resources to provide safe, quality, equitable care to diverse populations. Contextual Statement: Using evidence-based methodologies, nurses lead innovative solutions to address complex health problems and ensure optimal care. Understanding of systems-based practice is foundational to the delivery of quality care and incorporates key concepts of organizational structure, including relationships among macro-, meso-, and microsystems across healthcare settings. System awareness, innovation, and design also are needed to address such issues as structural racism and systemic inequity. Domain 8: Information and Healthcare Technologies - ✔Information and communication technologies and informatics processes are used to provide care, gather data, form information to drive decision making, and support professionals as they expand knowledge and wisdom for practice. Informatics processes and technologies are used to manage and improve the delivery of safe, high-
