Implementation of the IOM Future of Nursing Report

Introduction

The IOM Future of Nursing Report is a landmark report that has implications for nurses and the profession as well. It recommends a number of steps to improve the health care system, including increasing opportunities for nurses to lead and diffuse collaborative improvement efforts, preparing and enabling nurses to lead change in their fields, building an infrastructure for collecting interprofessional health care workforce data, and more. We have summarized each recommendation in brief below:

Selection of the Committee

The committee was selected by the IOM to reflect a wide range of perspectives. The members are experts in nursing, research and education, as well as health care delivery systems.

The IOM recommended that the committee be composed of diverse individuals who represent a variety of disciplines including nursing practice; nursing education; health policy development; epidemiology/health services research/quality improvement; managed care; quality assurance/quality control within a clinical setting, or other areas relevant to this topic area (e.g., research).

Charge to the Committee

The charge to the committee was to study the future of nursing and make recommendations for action. The report was based on a public workshop, public comments and literature review.

The report is also intended to inform nurses about how they can participate in their own health care system improvement efforts by sharing their experiences with others who may be interested in doing so as well.

Public Workshop

The IOM report was a result of a public workshop held in Washington, DC in April 2017. The workshop was streamed live on YouTube and recorded for posterity.

Report Limitations and Caveats

The report is not a policy document, but rather a consensus statement.

The report does not claim to be based on scientific evidence. It was not conducted by an independent research team or academic institution.

The report does not serve as legal guidance or represent the views of any government agency or organization.

The Evolving Health Care System and Implications for Nursing

The IOM Future of Nursing report has implications for nurses, as it describes the changing nature of nursing. Nurses are needed to provide high quality care, health education and leadership in the health care system. In order to meet these requirements as outlined by this report, nurses must have an understanding of:

• The evolving health care system and its impact on nursing practice

• Nursing roles within that system

The Nursing Profession and Education System Are in Transition

• The nursing profession and education system are in transition.

• The changing health care environment is prompting changes in both of these systems, but they have different trajectories.

• The nursing profession is adapting to the changing health care environment by embracing new technologies, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, that allow nurses to take on more complex tasks than ever before. Education systems are also adapting to this change by incorporating technology into their curricula at all levels of instruction so students can learn from a variety of sources (e-learning platforms included).

Recommendations and Action Steps in Brief

The report offers recommendations and action steps in brief.

• Nurses should be involved in the redesign of the health care system. Nurses should have leadership roles in redesigning the health care system, and they should be prepared to lead change and collaborate with other professionals.

• Nurses need to develop their own voice when it comes to issues related to patient safety, quality improvement, cost-effectiveness and efficiency (QIE) principles; these areas have not traditionally been considered part of nursing practice but are now being recognized as essential components of effective healthcare delivery models that support population health goals such as improving life expectancy or reducing chronic disease burden globally.*

Expanding Opportunities for Nurses to Lead and Collaborate in Redesigning Health Care

The IOM Future of Nursing report provides a road map for how nurses can lead and collaborate in redesigning health care. It is important to note that nurses are already leading, collaborating, and redesigning health care. Nurses are often the first ones at the scene of an emergency and often assume leadership roles during disasters or crises. In addition, nurses manage many aspects of patient care on an ongoing basis (e.g., pain management) that require collaboration with other professionals such as physicians or other caregivers. Nurses also work closely with patients and families so they have opportunities to participate in decision making regarding their own care plans as well as those made by providers like physicians or surgeons who provide procedures like surgeries or organ transplants that may require long-term follow-up after surgery has been completed

Recommendation 1. Increase opportunities for nurses to lead and diffuse collaborative improvement efforts.

We recommend that:

• Increasing opportunities for nurses to lead and diffuse collaborative improvement efforts is a key factor in improving quality of care. Nurses should have leadership roles in healthcare, including as principal investigators or project leads on research studies; they should also be able to use their knowledge of the environment, populations served by the facility or service, health outcomes at stake for patients and communities with whom they work on an everyday basis—and all these factors inform decisions about what makes sense for them personally as practitioners working within their own departmental boundaries.

• To achieve this goal requires greater autonomy from other staff members (i.e., managers) who may see themselves as having “more expertise” than nurses do when it comes down actually being knowledgeable enough about some aspect(s) within their own field(s). In order not only let individuals operate without being micromanaged but also allow them room enough where they can feel comfortable taking on leadership roles within organizations like hospitals or clinics.”

Core Competencies for Interprofessional Collaborative Practice6

The IOM Report identifies five core competencies for interprofessional collaborative practice:

• Ability to make effective use of evidence in decision making.

• Skillful communication with patients, families and other caregivers.

• Proven ability to work collaboratively as a team member that ensures safe care delivery for all involved parties (both staff and patients). This includes being able to effectively communicate with other health care professionals at all levels of practice including physicians, nurses, pharmacists and others involved in patient care delivery systems at the hospital level or large organization setting such as academic medical centers or hospitals within integrated health systems where there may be multiple divisions within one organization providing services related activities such as nursing homes or long term care facilities so these two concepts should be kept separate unless otherwise stated otherwise by context (e.g., “I worked at an academic medical center”). This also applies if you’re working outside traditional hospital settings like long term care homes etcetera where some individuals might work directly under another physician while others may report directly back up through another departmental manager or vice president before going any further down those lines – whichever route works best depends entirely upon how much time each person has left over after completing their duties during shift hours which varies greatly between individuals depending upon what type job they do within said role(s) held within each respective departmental structure within said organization/organization(s).

Recommendation 2. Prepare and enable nurses to lead change to advance health.

The IOM report makes a clear recommendation that nurses should be prepared and enabled to lead change in the health care system. The authors of the report suggest that nurses should become more involved with decision-making about how care will be delivered, who it will be delivered by and how it is paid for. They also suggest that nurses need more autonomy in their work environments so they can make decisions on behalf of patients.

The authors state: “As nurse leaders begin to embrace these opportunities, they will have an important role to play in shaping our future.”

Recommendation 3. Build an infrastructure for the collection and analysis of interprofessional health care workforce data.

Data collection and analysis should be a key component of the interprofessional health care workforce development agenda. To this end, there are several ways to collect data on health care professionals’ experience and performance in different areas. These include surveys, interviews, observations and other methods that allow for a more thorough understanding of how each profession contributes to the delivery of safe and effective care across multiple settings (e.g., hospitals).

The IOM report recommends that all stakeholders work together toward establishing a national infrastructure for collecting information about interprofessional health care workforce needs; developing guidelines for data collection; sharing best practices among organizations; developing an online clearinghouse where users can search through existing datasets; providing training opportunities; conducting research into factors affecting quality outcomes in different settings across diverse populations such as seniors or children with special needs; collecting feedback from those who use these tools so they can improve them over time

Nurses are an important part of the healthcare system

Nurses are the backbone of the healthcare system, and they’re undervalued in every way. Nurses are the most trusted profession in healthcare, yet their salaries don’t reflect that. They’re also underpaid for what they do—and it’s not just about semantics: low pay means less money for nurses to spend on supplies or equipment, which can make it harder for them to provide quality care when patients need it most (like during an emergency).

Nurses also face barriers when it comes to leadership positions within hospitals and health systems; only 3% of hospital CEOs were nurses before being promoted into those roles; fewer than half of all employed female nurses hold management positions; and despite comprising nearly 90% of all registered nurses working in private practice settings across America today—they represent less than one-third (31%) percent overall
