...Impact of IOM 2010 Report on the Future of Nursing Troy Bradley Grand Canyon University: Professional Dynamics June 7, 2013 Impact of IOM 2010 Report on the Future of Nursing In 2010, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) released its report The Future of Nursing, Leading Change, Advancing Health. This report addresses the opportunity the United States has to transform its health care system into a higher quality, safer, more affordable and accessible system since the enactment of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) (Institute of Medicine, 2010). There are many recommendations on how to bring about this transformation. Three specific nursing areas which could be affected by these are education, practice (particularly primary care), and nursing roles as leaders. Within these are also recommendations not just for future nurses, but for practical changes the nurse can make in everyday practice now. Impact on Education The report clearly recommends nurses should achieve higher levels of education and training. It emphasizes the need for more nurses to enter the workforce with a baccalaureate degree, or to obtain one early in their career (Institute of Medicine, 2010). This is a requirement many hospitals are already putting into place. It also clearly makes its case for an all-BSN workforce at the entry level, in order to have the uniform foundation for the future nursing roles that they envision. The committee believes the nursing workforce should be at 80% having a BSN by 2020. They...

...Running Head: PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT Professional Development of Nursing Professionals Professional Development of Nursing Professionals Review of the IOM report: The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health The major impact on the nursing side of the question seems to be three fold and the main emphasis is that the future health system will be patient oriented and technologically advanced and therefore the nurses should achieve better education and training and the learning will be lifelong and the academic institutions must provide a seamless academic progression for the nurse. Thus the concept of educating the potential nursing graduates and providing them with modern tools and at the same time including the existing professionals and upgrading them to be more equipped in terms of “care management, quality improvement methods, systems-level change management” seems to be the major motto of the report. (Institute of Medicine (IOM), 2011b) The role of the nurse is seen from a different light, that of a decision maker and major participant in the health process. Major emphasis is paid to the undergraduate nursing education, which now will provide multiple educational pathways. Secondly the directives attempt is to give a greater role to nurses, which means greater responsibility and decision making, and nurses are enjoined to be on an equal partnership with physicians and other personnel...

...Professional Development of Nursing Professionals Brenda Johnson Grand Canyon University Professional Dynamics NRS-430V August 16, 2015 Professional Development of Nursing Professionals The momentum ignited by the November 30, 2010 Institute of Medicine (IOM) Future of Nursing Report will impact healthcare and redefine the expectations of the nursing profession. The historical report was the result of a two year initiative commissioned by the Robert Johnson Wood Foundation (RJWF) in response to meeting the demands for healthcare reformation and was inclusive of an action plan to resolve the nursing shortage and identify barriers. The first edition publication of the IOM in 2007 stated, “We want our healthcare system to deliver: the right care for every patient every time.” The process and application for delivering this standard of care which is evidenced based and patient centered must be viable, evolving and transformational in nature. Four key messages quoted here resulted from the forum discussions as stated by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) (2010 : 1. Nurses should practice to the full extent of their education and training. 2. Nurses should achieve higher levels of education and training through and improved education system that promote seamless academic progression. 3. Nurses should be full partners, with physicians and other healthcare professionals, in redesigning healthcare in the United States. 4. Effective workforce planning and policy...

...nonprofit committee, that would conduct in depth studies in an unbiased, influential way; called the Institute of Medicine (IOM). This organization ran for about 38 years when the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) offered their assistance in evaluating the need transform the nursing workforce. The IOM and RWJF then published a report, two years later, called The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health; hoping to aid the already changing health care system. The study found that the need for health care professionals will rise while the number of patients, with broad spectrums of needs, will also rapidly increase. It also discovered that the number of medical students is declining. The Future of Nursing highlights ideas on why increasing the number of nurses with baccalaureate degrees is important to the changing system, how to balance out the ratio of patients to providers and the essentials of nurses embracing their leadership skills; to utilize those qualities to become leaders. The IOM believes that more Bachelors of Science and Nursing (BSN) prepared nurses are needed, even though some studies argue that clinical experience, qualifications before entering a nursing program (e.g., SAT scores), and the number of BSN-prepared nurses that received an earlier degree confound the value added through the 4-year educational program (The Future of Nursing, 2010). In contrast to that argument, a survey of 100 physicians found that 76 percent of physicians strongly...

With the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which will entitle additional 32 million Americans to have access to health care, the nurses will need to be well educated and be prepared to meet the current and future demands of the health care system.( pg 271). In this paper I will be discussing the impact of the IOM Report on nursing education, on nursing practice, particularly in primary care, impact of the IOM Report on nursing role as a leader, and finally, how I as a nurse will implement these changes in my practice to meet the goals of the IOM Report. Impact on Nursing Education; With the evolving health care demands, changing and expanding nurses role in acute setting as well as in the community education plays most important part. In the IOM report the emphasis was placed on advancing nursing degrees, to make easy, seamless transition to advance nursing practices and to improve education system. Advancing Nursing Degree.

Nursing has advanced significantly over the last 150 years and the days of Florence Nightingale, but nursing is still in its infancy in regards to its potential that needs to be for the changing population. The population in this United States is changing; people are living longer than ever before with complex health issues, large cultural and minority groups within this country continue to grow, and those living in rural or poverty environments all in need of more support. “Affordable Care Act”, passed in 2010, there will be an influx of patients that are entering the health care arena that have had limited access to health care.

...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...

...Introduction Nursing is a call to serve the humanity. Present day healthcare system focused on preventive care and wellness has become highly advanced which makes every nurse responsible to achieve maximum level of education, skills and power of knowledge to meet the challenges. Continuous research in nursing and the evidence obtained from the research serves to support the nursing care. Continuing education helps nurses to keep track of all the developments taking place in the field, trace advances in technology and care, have a better understanding of all current rules and regulations, beware of all ethical and legal aspects of nursing as envisaged by various boards of nursing and other authorities in the field of healthcare. In this paper, I would like to explain the position statement of career development in nursing. It is only through proper and continued education that nurses can provide patients better care, assess and report what is best for the patient and always seek ways to improve patient outcome. In order to achieve the best results, nurses need to identify the core knowledge, scientific principles, skills and attitudes of nursing practice to improve healthcare system (International Council of Nurses, 2007). Therefore career development must be achieved by integrating care through our scholastic system, giving nurses opportunity to learn, grow and move up the ladder, making them capable of leading from the forefront. Career Development in Nursing Ever changing...

...CONTROLLING HEALTH CARE COSTS WHILE PROMOTING THE BEST POSSIBLE HEALTH OUTCOMES American College of Physicians A White Paper 2009 Controlling Health Care Costs While Promoting the Best Possible Health Outcomes Summary of Position Paper Approved by the ACP Board of Regents, September 2009 What are the Major Drivers of Health Care Costs? Major drivers of health care costs include: inappropriate utilization especially of advanced medical technology, lack of patient involvement in decision-making, payment system distortions that encourage over-use, high prices for health care services, a health care workforce that is not aligned with national needs, excessive administrative costs, medical liability and defensive medicine, more Americans with declining health status and chronic disease, and demographic changes including an increase in elderly persons. This paper addresses each of these drivers of health care costs and provides recommendations for controlling them. Why Do We Need to Control Health Care Costs? Improvements in health care have the ability to provide opportunities for all people to live better, healthier lives. However, the rate of increase in U.S. spending on health care continues to exceed economic growth at an unsustainable pace. The rate of growth in health care spending is the single most important factor undermining the nation’s long-term fiscal condition. Why Should Controlling Health Care Costs be Linked to Promoting Good Health Outcomes? Increasing pressure...

...Knowledge Area Module VI Contemporary Issues and the Ethical Delivery of Health Services Student: Harold Taitt, harold.taitt@waldenu.edu Student ID # A00293212 Program: Ph.D. Health Services Specialization: Health Management and Policy Faculty Mentor: Dr. Robert Hoye, robert.hoye@waldenu.edu Faculty Assessor: Dr. Jim Goes, jim.goes@waldenu.edu Walden University May 10, 2013 Abstract Breadth Component In this age of rapidly evolving technological advances, many of the legal and ethical issues that are challenging the delivery of health care and the health care profession are new. As we confront the legal, moral, and ethical aspects of health care, we are seldom faced with decisions that require or are resolved by simple right or wrong answers (Edge & Kreiger, 1998). In the Breadth component of KAM VI, I focus on several ethical theories and how those theories influence the way ethical issues and concerns are addressed and managed in the allocation and delivery of health care services. I critically assess and evaluate those theories, concepts, and derivative principles as they impact important decisions and the implications of those decisions within the context of social change and with special emphasis on health care management and policy. In addition, I discuss the key assumptions on which the selected theories are constructed, compare and contrast the writers’ interpretations across theories, and conclude by providing a critical commentary on the merits of the selected...
