The National Academy of Medicine, formerly known as the Institute of Medicine,
released its report,
The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health,
on
October 2010. This report addresses the important roles, responsibilities, and education
and how it evolves to meet the advancement in medicine to focus on improving patient-
centered health care in the United States. Below are the four messages outlined in the
IOM report:
Nurses should practice to the full extent of their education and training.
Although
nurses have experience and education, there might be some barriers that
prevent them from using it to its full potential. This emphasizes the importance of
allowing nurses to be able to fully exhaust their knowledge in nursing based on
education and training.
Nurses should achieve higher levels of education and training through an
improved education system that promotes seamless academic progression.
The
IOM calls for a higher level of education because of an increase in demand of an
ongoing changing in the healthcare system. This requires the nurse to be able to
use critical thinking and evidence-based practice which will better aid them to
provide better patient care.
Nurses should be full partners, with physicians and other health professionals, in
redesigning health care in the United States.
To achieve this goal, a change in
how nurses view their responsibility to patients and relationships with other work
team members is required.
Effective workforce planning and policy making require better data collection and
information infrastructure.
An improved infrastructure for collecting and analyzing
workforce data is vital in the healthcare setting because systematic assessment
and projection of workforce requirements by role, region, and demographics will
be required to inform changes in nursing practice and education.
The direct influence of IOM report on nursing education and leadership
focuses on reaching higher levels of education from improved educational
systems. In 2010, when
The Future of Nursing
was released, only 36 percent of
RNs entered the field with a BSN. The report recommends that this proportion be
increased, setting the ambitious goal of increasing the percentage of nurses
holding a BSN degree from 50 percent in 2010 to 80 percent by 2020
(
IOM,
2011
). The benefits and opportunities for BSN nurses include applying critical
thinking when caring for patients who are frail and/or in critical care.
It is important that a nurse's role and education evolve to meet the needs
of an aging and increasingly diverse population. There has been an increase in
the number of older adults, and this is because they are living longer than ever

before.
The IOM states:
“The impending crisis, which has been foreseen for
decades, is now upon us. The nation needs to act now to prepare the health care
workforce to meet the care needs of older adults.”
Nursing and nursing research
must continue to lead the way in addressing the challenges associated with
providing quality health care for older adults through excellence in science and
practice, and through training the next generation of leaders in geriatric research
and practice (Grady, 2011).
literally means that learning should take place at all stages of life cycle (from the cradle
to the grave) and, in
more recent versions that it should be life-wide; that is embedded in all life contexts
from the school to the
workplace, the home and the community. The learning society therefore, is the vision of
a society where there are
recognized opportunities for learning for every person wherever they are and however
old they should be (Green,
A., 2002)

Lifelong learning means that learning should take place at all stages of the
life cycle that is embedded in all life contexts from the school to the workplace,
the home and the community. The learning society, therefore, is the vision of a
society where there are recognized opportunities for learning for every person
wherever they are and however old they should be (Green, 2002). It is important
because by using evidence-based practice, it helps keep the nurse, patient and
their families safe by using knowledge and skills assessment.
Nurses are positioned to contribute to and lead the transformative
changes that are occurring in healthcare by being a fully contributing member of
the interprofessional team as we shift from episodic, provider-based, fee-for-
service care to team-based, patient-centered care across the continuum that
provides seamless, affordable, and quality care. These shifts require a new or an
enhanced set of knowledge, skills, and attitudes around wellness and population
care with a renewed focus on patient-centered care, care coordination, data
analytics, and quality improvement.
