Nurse Mentoring Methodology orients the nurse mentors on principles of mentoring, adult learning practices, rapport building, their roles and responsibilities, documentation, record keeping and other quality improvement initiatives.
The Uttar Pradesh Health Department, Government of Uttar Pradesh, launched Navjat Shishu Suraksha Karyakram (NSSK) to reduce neonatal mortality from birth asphyxia by training Staff Nurses and ANMs. The evaluation revealed gaps like inconsistent knowledge transfer and limited practical exposure. The program was revised to integrate adult learning principles, hands-on training, and better facilitator-to-participant ratios, ensuring uniform skill acquisition and improved newborn care.
Launched in 2008, the Government of Uttar Pradesh’s SBA training aimed to enhance maternal and neonatal care by training nurses and ANMs in delivery management. However, challenges like slow rollout and inconsistent quality persisted, which led to the conceptualisation of the Cluster Model, which improved training speed and quality through decentralised sites, local trainers, and mini-skill labs.
Government of Uttar Pradesh launched the Uttar Pradesh ke Swasthya Kendra (UPkSK) platform in July 2021 to address healthcare challenges exposed by Covid-19 pandemic. Built on the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) framework, it centralises health facility data, improving resource allocation and service delivery. UPkSK integrates multiple systems, including HR, drug management, and service delivery, serving as a comprehensive digital tool for healthcare management in Uttar Pradesh.
