advanced practice is included in the staged model but the base practice is
not. The base practice is presented in the staged representation as informative
material after the specific practices. The specific goals are required model
elements that are used in appraisals to determine PA satisfaction.
Generic goals and GPs are central to process institutionalization. In the
continuous representation the basis for institutionalization is established via
the capability level 2 GPs. GPs at capability levels 3, 4, and 5 extend the
initial capability level 2 institutionalization. In the staged representation,
institutionalization is achieved via common features. The staged representation’s
common features correspond to the continuous representation’s capability
level 2 and 3 generic practices.
GPs are applicable to all PAs—they do not belong to any specific PA. 4
When applied to a single PA, the GPs will help to institutionalize improved
4. In some PAs, GPs contain amplifications and examples specific to that PA.
