...The Impact of the 2010 IOM Report on The Future of Nursing Robert Loperfido Felician Health Policy and Politics NURS 385 Helena Correia RNC, MSN August 18, 2014 The Impact of the 2010 IOM Report on The Future of Nursing The United States is at a significant junction. Health care reforms are being carried out and the system is beginning to change. The largest component of the health care workforce is nurses and the needs to strengthen this group will only improve the delivery of care and the health care system. The IOM and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation established that accessible, high quality care cannot be achieved without extraordinary nursing care and leadership (American Nurses Association, 2014, p. 1). The report calls on nurses individually and as a profession to embrace changes needed to promote health, prevent illness and care for people across the lifespan. The report also calls for support from interprofessional collaborations from physicians, dieticians, physical therapist and other multisector professions to work with nurses to make the changes necessary for a more accessible, cost efficient and high quality health care system. This report expands on the theme that high quality, safe, evidence based patient centered care is a critical role of nursing and that to have a successful health care system rests on the future of nursing (Institute of Medicine, 2010). In 2010 the President signed into law and Congress approved health care legislation...

...Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins THE JOURNAL OF NURSING ADMINISTRATION Nurturing Charge Nurses for Future Leadership Roles Patricia A. Patrician, PhD, RN, FAAN Douglas Oliver, DNP, RN, ACNS-BC, NE-BC Rebecca S. Miltner, PhD, RNC-OB, NEA-BC Charge nurses are untapped leadership resources that can be groomed for future advanced leadership positions in healthcare organizations. The purpose of this study was to understand the development needs for the charge nurse role. This study demonstrates they receive little or no training for assuming positions of leadership and offers suggestions for enhancement of preparation. There is growing evidence of an impending crisis in chief nursing officer (CNO) retention.1 Seventy percent of CNOs report they will change jobs or retire in the future.2 The critical need for succession planning in nursing leadership has been demonstrated, yet two-thirds of CNOs reported that they do not have succession plans in place.3 Proactive planning is clearly needed to prepare the next generation of nursing leaders.4 The 1st step in succession planning is to identify nurses to mentor and develop. Commonly, nurses in management roles are likely candidates for development; however, many organizations do not consider charge nurses candidates for advancement based on the perception of the role as more of a task master than leader.5 Martha Dawson, DNP, RN, FACHE Kathleen A.

...Ronda Mintz-Binder, RN, MSN, DNP April 19, 2014 Terminally Ill Patients' and End of Life Care: A Multidisciplinary Concept Analysis With an aging population in our country we are facing an increasing number of patients’ that are coming to the end of their lives and are presenting with terminal illness. As life expectancy increases we are seeing more and more patent that are 65 year old and older in need of end of life care. Research and medical developments have provided a vast array of treatment options available to our patients’. After patients’ have exhausted all available treatment options for their disease processes they face the reality that their life is coming to an end. Patients’ near the end choose between quality of life over quantity of life. One service available to terminal patients’ is hospice care which offers palliative care to patients’ at the end of life. Health care providers must be able to face and appropriately care for patients’ with terminal illness and end of life care. At times it may be difficult for health care providers to face or present the truth to a patient that further treatment is futile and end of life care would be appropriate. Advanced practice nurses’ will face terminal illness and it is required of them to be able to sufficiently treat, manage, and discuss end of life care with these patients. It is necessary for practitioners to establish understanding and acceptance of end of life care. It is necessary to analyze terminal illness...

...Epidemiology by definition is the study of the distribution and patterns of health-events, health- characteristics and their causes or influences in well-defined populations. It is the cornerstone method of public health research, and helps inform policy decisions and evidence-based by identifying risk factors for disease and targets for preventive medicine. Epidemiologists are involved in the design of studies, collection and statistical analysis of data, and interpretation and dissemination of results (including peer review and occasional systematic review).Major areas of epidemiological study include outbreak investigation, disease surveillance and biomonitoring, and comparisons of treatment effects such as in clinical trials. Epidemiologists rely on a number of other scientific disciplines such as biology (to better understand disease processes), biostatistics (to make efficient use of the data and draw appropriate conclusions), and exposure assessment and social science disciplines (to better understand proximate and distal risk factors, and their measurement). I would like to discuss elderly patients as my vulnerable population. There is no set age at which a person maybe under the care of a geriatric physician. The physician aims to promote health by preventing disease and disabilities in geriatric adults. A gerontologist specializes in the aging process. Adult medicine differs from the geriatric patient because the focus is on the elderly...
