In 2010 the Institute of Medicine (IOM) released a landmark report, The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health. All states have formed Action Coalitions to facilitate implementation of the recommendations in this report. The
report recommendations emphasize strengthening nurse education and
training, enabling nurses to practice to the full extent of their
education and training, advancing interprofessional collaboration,
expanding leadership opportunities for nurses, and improving health care
workforce data collection.
The Ohio Action Coalition, along with
several other organizations, recently sponsored a visit by Susan B.
Hassmiller, PhD, RN, FAAN, senior adviser for nursing at Robert Wood
Johnson Foundation and director of Future of Nursing: Campaign for
Action. Dr. Hassmiller held a series of stakeholder meetings on June 11,
2013 in Columbus to discuss efforts in Ohio and nationwide to implement
the IOM recommendations.
Dean
Faye Grund and nursing faculty member Dan Hellinger, who serves on the
Ohio Action Coalition, represented the AU CONHS in an official capacity.
Nursing students in the accelerated track enrolled in the leadership
and management course and several CONHS nursing faculty attended the staff nurse and student stakeholder session and Dr.
Hassmiller’s keynote address.
