Whats new in the Nursing Roadmap? How is Road mapping

an adaptive and proactive means to create the future of
Philippine Nursing to be globally competitive?
With the nursing professions vision of becoming the lead in
promoting Philippine Nursing in the Asia Pacific Region by
2030, five strategic themes and four perspectives set the
framework of the Balance Scorecard (BSC) that will determine

the outcome measures that will have to be achieved. The five

strategic themes are: Dynamic Leadership, Service Excellence,
Operational Excellence, Strategic Partnerships and Social
Responsibility. The performance of the nursing profession
shall be measured across four balanced perspectives namely:
Learning and Growth, Internal Processes, Customer and
Financial Perspectives. These are the key areas of the nursing
profession into which objectives naturally fit.
The crafting of the Nursing Roadmap is a continuing work in
progress participated in by three (3) clusters of organizations,
namely: the Philippine Nurses Association (PNA) as the
accredited professional organization, the nursing specialty
organizations and nursing interest groups. The nursing
professions charter statement, i.e., mission, vision and values,
shall be the banner, we, Filipino nurses shall hold together.
In 2007, the Board of Nursing and representatives from
nursing practice, education and nursing welfare formed the
Coordinating Body for Good Governance of the Nursing
Profession (CBGGN) and together with 16 nursing
organizations committed to work together to uplift the status
of Philippine nursing. With the Board of Nursing taking the
lead, the nursing profession through the CBGGNP, enrolled in
the Institute for Solidarity in Asia (ISA) Public Governance
System (PGS) Program and earned the recognition of PGS
Compliant for following the public governance system
process in August 2007.

The CBGGNP struggled in its efforts to create a

comprehensive strategic plan. Concerns on organizational
structure, administrative matters and logistics needed to be
seriously addressed. As more questions were raised, the
CBGGNP acknowledged the need for more guidance and
decided to consult on the process of roadmapping. This
would necessitate a formal engagement with ISA as the
consultant on strategy development and execution. A Series
of meetings, discussions and exploratory talks with ISA
ensued.
ISA would provide the technology to process the strategy
which is based on the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) framework
and customize the process to ensure that it captures all the
feasible and workable strategies that the nursing profession
wishes to undertake. The Roadmap and the BSC is for the
entire nursing profession to integrate and cascade the
information and strategies to all stakeholders through
alignment and subsidiary scorecards. Because this work is of
great magnitude affecting the present and the future of the
nursing profession in the Philippines, it will necessitate the
creation of an Office of Strategy Management.
The main product of the roadmapping process is the Good
Governance Pathway. As such, the Nursing Profession would
need to progress in the public governance pathway from
Compliant to Proficient status. To achieve this goal and
assist the nursing profession in this journey would entail the
formal engagement of ISA as consultant of the nursing sector

for it to audit, assess and intervene in accordance with the

Nursing Roadmap and the strategies that the profession
decides to undertake.
The engagement proposal and its details will be presented and
discussed with the nursing organizations to ensure full
involvement, participation and ownership of the Nursing
Roadmap by the whole nursing profession now and in the
future, even beyond 2030.
If all nurses, as stakeholders, take on the commitment now, is
there a certainty that future nursing leadership will do the
same? The Nursing Roadmap addresses this by strengthening
a multi-sector coalition that shall share resources,
responsibilities and accountabilities which is also a means of
guaranteeing commitment. Furthermore, the Nursing
Roadmap will propel the profession to work towards
institutionalization with a fully functioning Office of Strategy
Management which shall regularly monitor the strategic
performance of the profession. With the involvement and
vigilance of every nurse in safeguarding the integrity and
fulfillment of its mission and vision, we have reason to
anticipate the success of the Nursing Roadmap 2030!
