| Abstract | Background: New emerging technologies, health globalization, demographic change, new healthcare paradigms, advances in healthcare delivery and social networking will change the needs of patients in the future and consequently will require that new knowledge, competence and skill sets be acquired by nurses. Method: Checkland's Soft SystemsMethodology, focusing on the enriched CATWOE and PQR elements of the root definitions, combined with our own developed Too much - Too little constraint approach was used to devise impending knowledge, competence and skill sets. Results: The analysis revealed ten needs among patients of the future, 63 constraints and 18 knowledge, competence and skill sets for the future nurse. Conclusion: The completed study showed that SSM is an appropriate tool for high level structuring of a messy real-world problem situation to meet prospective nursing challenges. | |
