...The Impact of the IOM Report on the Future of Nursing Marsha McGinnis Grand Canyon University Professional Dynamics NRS-430V October 13, 2013 The role of nursing today has vastly changed over the years. Additional responsibilities, growing demands of higher education, and increased job requirements have resulted in an exceptionally complex practice for the modern nurse. In order to meet these higher demands, the committee on the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation at the Institute of Medicine (IOM) published a report containing recommendations to aid and enhance the future of nursing practice. This report contains four main key points. 1. Nurses should practice to the full extent of their education and training. 2. Nurses should achieve higher levels of education and training through an improved education system that promotes seamless academic progression. 3. Nurses should be full partners, with physicians and other health care professionals, in redesigning health care in the United States. 4. Effective workforce planning and policy making require better data collection and information infrastructure (IOM (Institute of Medicine), 2011). These recommendations are essential tools that today’s nurses can use to assist in the evolution of nursing practice. Nursing education, nursing practice and leadership skills are all areas that need improvement according to the IOM report. If these improvements are achieved, nurses will be able to enrich the quality of...

...baccalaureate degree level After the completion of nursing education, all prospective registered nurses are required to take their NCLEX – RN exam. “Entry into the practice of nursing is regulated by the licensing authorities within each of the NCSBN member board jurisdictions (state, commonwealth and territorial boards of nursing). To ensure public protection, each jurisdiction requires candidates for licensure to pass an examination that measures the competencies needed to perform safely and effectively as a newly licensed, entry-level registered nurse (RN).” (e.g; Wendt, Kenny, Schultz. 2011. P.8). There are four categories within the NCLEX-RN exam. These include: Safe and Effective Care Environment, Health Promotion and Maintenance, Psychosocial integrity and Physiological integrity (P.9). Once the applicant has passed the NCLEX-RN exam they can be employed at various healthcare settings such as acute, long term care, or community based settings. There are many ways to obtain your education in nursing. One path is the Associates Degree in Nursing. The Associate’s Degree is offered at community colleges and junior colleges and is typically “two years in length and consists of a balance between general education and clinical nursing courses, all of which carry academic credit.” (Creasia & Friberg. Conceptual Foundations: The Bridge to Professional Nursing Practice, 5th Edition. Mosby, 102010. p. 26). Within the Associate’s Degree, students learn professionalism...

...Review Learning Goals and Topic of Interest Something that is absolutely amazing about nursing is when one comes to work; nurses get to learn new things every day. Getting to teach others, lead others and mentor others is a great opportunity nurses have and this should not be taken lightly. Leadership A goal that is interesting and takes practice is how to become a strong and successful leader. The nursing field needs great leadership and strong mentors for others to look up to. Module 4: “Nurse as a Leader” really fits into this goal. It’s believed that to be a great leader one needs to learn this, some might say they were born to be a leader and that is quite possibly true. For most though it takes skills and practice and a good foundation to build on. At Stormont Vail Health they have sessions for new management on opportunities to improve on leadership skills. Actively listening and being able to concentrate on the situation at hand are ways this can happen. This course can help build these assets and give further opportunities for this to happen. Teamwork and Communication Teamwork and communication are assets of many professions. These are two things that are essential in everyday practice, when nurses or any other group acts as part of a team, the job usually is easier and things get done more efficiently. When this happens then better patient care takes place and this is why most nurses came into this field, to help others in the most efficient, safest way possible...

...The Impact of the 2010 Institute of Medicine (IOM) Report on the Future of Nursing Education, Practice and Leadership Aaron Peterson Grand Canyon University Profession Dynamics NRS-430V April 14, 2013 The Institute of Medicine’s (IOM) 2010 report on The Future of Nursing is a vision for ways to evolve nursing to better impact the changes in the world. The IOM was established in 1970 by the National Academy of Sciences. The IOM consists of a group of experts that discuss, debate, and examine future solutions in regards to the many concerns that the nation faces in regards to healthcare. This group’s primary goal is to improving high quality care, reduce medical errors and increase patient safety. In order to achieve these goals the group focuses the need to advance nursing education, nursing practice and nursing leadership. In healthcare nursing is considered one of the most versatile occupations with many different career pathways, a broadening scope of practice and increasing number of responsibilities. Nurses are considered to be the central part of the healthcare system to provide high quality and safe patient care. We must embrace the changes to improve the healthcare sector and provide care for people in all different settings. “The committee envisions a future system that makes quality care accessible to the diverse populations of the United States, intentionally promotes wellness and disease prevention, reliably improves health outcomes, and provides compassionate...

...Canyon University Nursing History, Theories, and Conceptual Model NRS-430V Lorilee McAfee October 31, 2015 Changing for the Better The 2010 Affordable Care Act has changed the way health care needs will be delivered to the American people. It requires transforming the health care system to meet new challenges such as, quality, affordable and safe care that will require the roles of health care professionals, including nurses, roles to be reevaluated ("Health Care Reform," 2015). With that said, the Institution of Medicine (IOM) released a report in 2010 that states, “nurses’ roles, responsibilities, and education should change significantly to meet the increased demand for care that will be created by health care reform and to advance improvements in America’s increasingly complex health system” ("Health Care Reform," 2015, p. 1). The 2010 IOM report has great impact in the nursing field that will promote positive changes. In this paper I will discuss the impact of the IOM report on nursing education, nurse’s role as a leader, and nursing practice, particularly in primary care. Lastly, an explanation of how one can change their current practice to meet the goals of the IOM report will be discussed. The IOM report calls for nurses to achieve higher levels of education. One of the impacts to nursing education is the goal of increasing the percentage of nurses with a bachelor’s of science in nursing (BSN) to 80 percent by 2020 ("The Future of Nursing," 2011). In order to...

...Institute of Medicine Report 2010-Impact on the Future of Nursing Hazel Fernandez Grand Canyon University: NRS-430V (0102) 02/16/2014 Abstract Nursing profession, dynamic in nature is fast growing globally in the industry of health care. Nurses need to be trained and educated to provide quality care and safety to patients in an affordable manner in today’s world. The 2010 Report on the FUTURE OF NURSING: Leading Change, Advancing Health released by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) gives a detailed discussion with recommendations on Transforming the health care system at the Nurses level. This paper discusses the impact of the IOM report on Education, Practice, and Leadership for nurses. IMPACT ON EDUCATION According to the report of the IOM health care system requires a comprehensive transformation to provide quality, safety, accessibility, patient as the center of focus at the same time it should be affordable to the common man. The 2010 Affordable Care Act is the biggest transformation since the creation of Medicare and Medicaid programs in 1965. To make a difference in this nursing education needs to be improved at all levels. Nursing education is an ongoing process and it should be made available to all practicing nurses whether an LPN/LVN, ADN or BSN. The report determines the fact that all nurses achieve an optimum level of training and education from an education system that caters to the academic requirements...

...Specialists The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) is committed to advancing professional nursing roles and highlighting the connection between well-educated nurses and quality health care. As a leading supporter of academic institutions that educate advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs), AACN is keenly aware of the direct link between graduate-prepared nurses and both patient safety and positive outcomes. Within the APRN community, Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNSs) play a unique role in the delivery of high quality nursing care. These clinicians are experts in evidence-based nursing and practice in a range of specialty areas, such as oncology, pediatrics, geriatrics, psychiatric/mental health, adult health, acute/critical care, and community health among others. In addition to direct patient care, CNSs also engage in teaching, mentoring, consulting, research, management and systems improvement. Able to adapt their practice across settings, these clinicians greatly influence outcomes by providing expert consultation to all care providers and by implementing improvements in health care delivery systems. AACN supports the full definition of the Clinical Nurse Specialist outlined in the American Nurses Association’s 2004 publication titled Nursing: Scope & Standards of Practice. (See Attachment A). Further, the growing body of research on CNS outcomes shows a strong correlation between CNS interventions and safe, cost-effective patient care. CNS practice has been directly...

...philosophy of the nursing faculty at the College of Nursing is congruent with the missions of the College of Nursing and the University of Missouri—St. Louis. Faculty and staff are dedicated to providing nursing education that prepares graduates as professionals to practice in generalist nursing roles, advanced nursing roles, and as nurse scientists in all health care systems. All academic programs reflect the faculty’s beliefs about nursing, clients, health, environment, and nursing education. The faculty believes that nursing is a profession and an academic discipline possessing a scientific body of knowledge that requires critical thinking, problem solving, and informatics. The primary function of nursing is to educate and assist the client to promote, protect, maintain, restore, and support health, or, to provide for a peaceful death. As a profession, nursing encompasses moral, ethical, legal, and scientific dimensions. Nurses are accountable to society for their practice and responsible for functioning within economic, legal, and moral/ethical parameters. Nursing practice is both theory and evidence based, using theories from nursing and other related disciplines. Nurses synthesize and apply knowledge from the arts, sciences, and humanities in nursing practice utilizing interpersonal communication to meet the complex and multidimensional needs of the client in a variety of health care settings throughout the metropolitan area and beyond. Through leadership and strategic partnerships...

...hospital-centered, inpatient care to more primary and preventive care throughout the community. The health system requires registered nurses who not only can practice both within and beyond hospitals but can function with more independence in direct bedside care, clinical community environment, case management, supervision of unlicensed other support personnel, and educating patients on treatment. The focus will be on the differences in competency between ADN and BSN nurses in this paper. Associate Degree Nurse The associate degree level of nursing was developed out of a need to produce nurses in response to a shortage during and following World War II. It was proposed as a temporary solution to a shortage but was not intended to replace the professional level of nursing education. It was proposed that graduates from associate degree nursing programs would work a“technical” nurses, assisting and working under the supervision of professional nurses. The associate degree level of nursing education became popular and has come to be viewed as an attractive career path for those who desire a shortened, less expensive route to becoming a registered nurse 1. Nursing Program Associate degree programs, located in community colleges, require a minimum to two year of full-time study with a reasonable balance in liberal arts and natural, social, and behavioral sciences and the other half in nursing courses. 2. Education The Associate Degree focuses more on technical skills than...

...PROFESSIONAL DEVELOMENT OF NURSING PRACTICE Femi ISEMEDE NRS/430v February, 23 2014 Introduction. The impact of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) 2010 report as it affects the future of nursing in relation to nursing education, nursing practice, particularly in primary care and the nurse’s role as a leader will be our subject of discussion. The IOM is not a profit organization but an organization founded for the purpose of providing national advice with regards to biomedicine science, medicine, and health. It functions independent of the United States government and provides “unbiased, evidence- based and authoritative information and advice concerning health and science, policy to policy-makers, professional, leaders in every sector of the society and the public at large. In 2010 the IOM released a detailed report exploring the need of nursing profession to evolve and prepare for the impact that will occur as a result of health care reform and the transformation that will be seen on our complex health care system. Achieving this transformation will require remodeling many aspects of the health care system. With the recent passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), millions of Americans who could not previously afford health insurance now find themselves with the opportunity to seek and obtain medical attention that was previously denied to them. With a huge number of individuals who now are able to receive primary care. This brings the concern whether or not there will be...

...(Gopee, 2011) as too have the requirements for mentors within the health profession. The current definition from the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC, 2008a) states that “A mentor is a registrant who has met the outcomes (of a mentor preparation course) and who facilitates learning, supervises and assesses students in a practice setting” (NMC, 2008a). The role of a clinical nurse mentor is described as someone who supervises, teaches and assesses student nurses in a practice setting (Jokelainen et al, 2011, Ousey, 2009), although the role is more complex in that a clinical nurse mentor needs to process the ability to select and support learning opportunities, they have a responsibility to manage diversity and equality, be accountable and ensure standards are maintained (NMC, 2008a). This is supported by Jokelainen et al (2011) who describes mentoring as being complex due to contextual, collegial, pedagogical and clinical teaching. Student nurses are supernumerary in the practice placement, meaning they are there as learners even though they must make an active contribution to the work of the practice area (RCN, 2007). Their active contribution is additionally supported by Morgan (2002) who emphasises that students may feel surplus to requirements through their supernumerary status. Standards relating to mentoring nursing students are set by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (2008a). They include; establishing effective working relationship through placement orientation, facilitating...

...VISION FOR THE FUTURE OF NURSING 10 Human Genome Project completed the initial mapping and sequencing of a composite set of human genes in 2003” (p. 392). This is an area of nursing practice that nurses will question their own morals and ethics. With technology on the rise, there will be new ethical dilemmas and nurses will be more active in exploring ethical aspects of patient care. Nurses’ ethical perspective will be respected by other professionals and as a result, nurses in larger numbers will sit and serve on ethics committees as ethics consultants. As new roles become the norm, nurses need to be trained in these specific areas to have the knowledge how to care for these patients. Nursing care will become more important in the future as the nation’s demographic changes. Nurses must be culturally competent and recognize that cultural sensitivity begins with health care providers. The rise of community base health care is seen throughout the United States and nurses will be needed to fulfill these roles in the community base setting such as school nursing, hospice, clinics, HMOs, and other health care settings (Chitty & Black, 2010). Conclusion As different trend in nursing become more popular in the future professional nurses must keep up with the new trends and practice evidence-based nursing. Professional nurses must be aware of and incorporate in their daily practice nursing theories to care for their patients. Finally, with new trends and roles available to nurses, most...

...The Impact of the IOM report on Nursing Susan Waterson Grand Canyon University NRS 430V-0101 Professional Dynamics August 12, 2014, 2014 The Institute of Medicine (IOM) is a nonprofit and independent organization that aids in the assistance of the government to make health decisions. IOM is made up of studies, forums and committees working together to improve the health of people. The IOM released a special report in October 2010 titled, “The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health.” In this article the IOM has a vision for transforming the nursing profession in certain categories and foresees that they will also provide a better foundation in the profession of nursing. These categories are; education, practice in primary care that emphasize on changes to each individual nurse to facilitate the meeting of goals, and the nurse in a leadership role. The IOM states “ Primary goals of nursing education remain the same: nurses must be prepared to meet diverse patients’ needs; function as leaders; and advance science that benefits patient and the capacity of health professionals to deliver safe, quality patient care (IOM,2012 p.164).” The IOM believes that this is the primary goal for nursing education and that education needs to fulfill its potential due to the constant changes in the health care system. The IOM believes that nurses who hold a BSN provide a consistent and concise foundation and are more prepared to function in the role of a RN in a...
