Assessing Progress on the Institute of Medicine Report The Future of Nursing
- Share to:
Nurses make up the largest segment of the health care profession; there are approximately 3 million registered nurses in the United States. Nurses work in a wide variety of settings, including hospitals, public health centers, schools, and homes, and provide a continuum of services involving direct patient care, health promotion, patient education, and coordination of care. They serve in leadership roles, are researchers, and work to improve health care policy. As the health care system undergoes transformation, in part as a result of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), the nursing profession is having a wide-ranging impact by providing patient-centered, accessible, and affordable care. In 2010, the Institute of Medicine released The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health report, offering recommendations for nursing in the new health care landscape. The present report assesses progress made toward implementing those recommendations. This report also identifies areas that should be emphasized over the next 5 years to advance the recommendations’ implementation. The 10 recommendations offered in the present report are intended to help the Future of Nursing: Campaign for Action (the Campaign) and the nursing profession effect change in the culture in which health care is provided by addressing scope of practice, education, collaborative leadership, diversity in the nursing profession, and improving the collection of nursing workforce data.
