Institute of Medicine Report High-quality, patient-centered health care for all will require a transformation of the health care delivery system One of the most-viewed online reports in IOM history
Institute of Medicine Report A Quote: " achieving a successful health care system in the future rests on the future of nursing." Harvey V Fineberg, MD, PhD President , Institute of Medicine.
IOM Future of Nursing Report • Committee on the RWJF Initiative on the Future of Nursing • Membership • Opportunity to transform health care system • Provide seamless, affordable, quality care • Nursing profession is the largest segment of the health care workforce
Campaign for Action: Key Messages Education Leadership High-quality patient centered care Interprofessional Collaboration Access to Care Workforce Data
Blueprint – Four Key Messages • Nurses should practice to the full extent of their education and training • Nurses should achieve higher levels of education and training through an improved education system that promotes seamless academic progression • Nurses should be full partners, with physicians and other health professionals, in redesigning health care in the US • Effective workforce planning and policy making require better data collection and an improved information infrastructure
Future of Nursing Recommendations • Remove scope of practice barriers • Expand opportunities for interprofessional collaboration • Implement nurse residency programs • Increase proportion of nurses with BSN to 80% by 2020 • Double the number of nurses with doctorates • Ensure that nurses engage in lifelong learning • Prepare and enable nurses to lead change and advance healthcare • Build an infrastructure for data collection
Campaign for Action Pillars Interprofessional Collaboration Diversity DATA
Education Increase the proportion of nurses with BSN and higher degrees Increase the number of nurses with doctorates Implement nurse residency programs Promote lifelong learning
Evidence Some association between educational level and patient outcomes Twenty percent of BSN graduates get advanced degrees Six percent of associate-degree graduates get advanced degrees Education Aiken et al., 2003; Estabrooks et al., 2005; Friese et al., 2008;Tourangeau et al., 2007; Van den Heede et al., 2009; Aiken, 2009.
Practice All practitioners should practice to the full extent of their education and training Physicians, nurses and other health professionals work in a team-based model of care delivery Models of care maximize time that providers can spend on their respective roles and responsibilities to patients
Evidence Studies show that APRNs permitted to practice to full extent of education and training provide equal or better care Patient satisfaction • Length of stay • NPs: BP, glucose, lipid control • CNMs: Fewer C-sections, fewer episiotomies Practice Systematic review of published literature between 1990 and 2008 indicate patient outcomes of care provided by APRNs and equivalent or better than MD Sources: Journal of Nursing Economic$, (Sept/Oct 2011), Advanced Practice Nurse Outcomes 1990 – 2008: A Systematic Review
Leadership Nurses bring important viewpoint to management and policy discussions
Survey of 1,000 U.S. hospitals** found: Nurses account for only six percent of board members Physicians account for 20 percent of board members Other clinicians are five percent of board members Gallup survey of 1,500 opinion leaders* said nurses should have more: Influence in reducing medical errors, increasing quality of care, promoting wellness Input and impact in planning, policy development and management Evidence *RWJF, 2010 **American Hospital Association, 2011
Need data on all health professions Improved health care workforce data collection to better assess and project workforce requirements Research on health care workforce is fragmented Data
Diversity Nurses should reflect patient population in terms of gender, race and ethnicity All nurses should provide culturally competent care
Campaign for Action • The Campaign for Action is a national initiative coordinated through the Center to Champion Nursing in America (CCNA), an initiative of AARP, the AARP Foundation, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. • The campaign has mobilized diverse stakeholders nationally and in all states to address the nation’s most pressing health care challenges – access, quality and increasing cost – by utilizing nurses more effectively and preparing nursing for the future.
