Nursing concept map example

Use a nursing concept map to align your healthcare team

Effective healthcare involves a variety of factors. Suppose your healthcare team needs to develop procedures for a particular treatment or consider the elements in a specific patient’s case. In that case, you can use a nursing concept map to stay organized.

A concept map is a diagram depicting concepts as boxes or circles structured hierarchically and connected with lines or arrows representing the connections between the concepts. The lines and shapes are labeled, creating a functional visual representation of complex processes, theories, or ideas.

Lucidchart’s nursing concept map example template provides a valuable resource to help your healthcare team visualize the management of specific healthcare practices. You can use the template to identify patient problems, organize data, and keep track of other variables your team must consider in a treatment plan.
