Vilans is the national knowledge organization for long-term care. Vilans develops and manages protocols for nursing procedures
Why care protocols?
For a client, it is nice when an action is always performed in the same way. This way he/she knows what is going to happen and the client is always helped in the same way.
In addition, it is also easier for healthcare professionals to work. This makes it easy to transfer work among colleagues, but also between different care locations. For example, when someone is moved from the hospital to a nursing home or home care organization.
Who are the Vilans protocols for? #
Many care locations work on the basis of the Vilans protocols. For example, there is one working method within a healthcare institution. The care protocols are therefore relevant for anyone who works in healthcare, or will do so in the future, such as students. For students, education based on the Vilans protocols is a perfect preparation for practice. Hospitals, organizations in elderly care and care for the disabled, home care, as well as general practitioners and mental health institutions work on the basis of the Vilans protocols.
What Vilans protocols are there? #
There are more than hundreds of protocols for nursing procedures. Both reserved actions and high-risk actions are described by Vilans.
Through CareUp you can practice and test the most common nursing procedures, such as:
- Injecting insulin
- Bladder catheterization female
- Intramuscular injection – perpendicular technique
- Bladder lavage with flushing bag via indwelling catheter
- Measuring blood glucose levels via finger prick
- Bandage
The benefits of Vilan’s protocols #
Because the Vilans protocols are recognized nationally, this also means that when you pass a nursing procedure with the CareUp app, your result will be recognized nationally. You can use your certificate (and possibly the accreditation points obtained) to demonstrate that you have mastered the action according to the protocol.
✔ There is one way of acting within a healthcare organization
✔ The actions comply with national guidelines
✔ All healthcare professionals equally competent
Why learn the protocols with CareUp? #
The big advantage of CareUp is that you learn the complete action from A-Z in terms of theory and also in practice. And this can be done from home, or wherever you want and you don’t need any practice materials!
Through the 3D simulation game, you learn how to perform an action in practice. In addition, the theory is also tested in the CareUp App. If you pass the test of a nursing act, you have passed this act. You will then receive a certificate and, if you are BIG-registered, also accreditation points.
