Background
In 2010, The Institute of Medicine (IOM) released the report The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health, which made a series of recommendations pertaining to the roles for nurses in the new health care landscape. Shortly after release of The Future of Nursing report, AARP and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation launched the Future of Nursing: Campaign for Action to shepherd The Future of Nursing report’s recommendations. In 2014, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation asked the IOM to convene a committee to assess progress made on implementing The Future of Nursing report recommendations and identify areas that should be emphasized over the next 5 years.
The webinar will include statements by the committee chair highlighting key findings, conclusions, and recommendations of the report, as well as a discussion with committee members.
Panelists include:
- Stuart Altman (Chair), Brandeis University
- Paula Gubrud, Oregon Health & Science University School of Nursing
