Implementation of the IOM Future of Nursing Report

Introduction

The Future of Nursing Committee, a group of nurse leaders and experts who will help shape the future of nursing, is planning to implement some of the most important recommendations from The Institute of Medicine (IOM) Study on the Future of Nursing Practice.

The Future of Nursing Committee was established to implement the recommendations that came out of the IOM Future of Nursing initiative.

The Future of Nursing Committee was established in 2017 to implement the recommendations that came out of the IOM Future of Nursing initiative. This committee consists of nurse leaders from all disciplines within nursing, including midwifery, public health and home care as well as those in clinical practice. The committee will work with local communities to ensure that they have access to high quality care services that are available throughout their region.

The committee is a diverse group of nurse leaders, representing multiple disciplines within nursing and caregiving.

The committee is a diverse group of nurse leaders, representing multiple disciplines within nursing and caregiving. In addition to their nursing duties, they have experience in leadership roles at hospitals and other institutions.

The following individuals were selected to serve on this advisory body:

• Dr. Susan Mowery-Brooks (Chair) – Director of Nursing Services, John Hopkins Hospital; Professor Emeritus Johns Hopkins University; Vice President for Patient Safety & Quality Assurance/Chief Executive Officer SAENORSA Program/Nursing Insider Ambassador program; Past President American Nurses Association (ANA)

• Kathleen Keefe – Director of Nursing Services at Stony Brook University Hospital in New York State; Associate Professor School Of Allied Health Professions Long Island College Hospital Kings Point New York 10464

There are seven areas of focus for the committee’s work, including workforce, knowledge and education, health policy, technology and information, leadership development and practice transformation.

The committee will look at best practices across the country, but it also wants to make sure it is working with local communities as well.

• Local communities are different from each other. They may have different needs and resources, people who are leaders in their community and cultures that don’t necessarily align with what’s happening in other places around the country.

• It’s hard enough to implement change when you’re implementing one-size-fits-all policies or practices; imagine trying to do so while also taking into consideration all those factors listed above!

The FON committee plans to bring together people from across the country to talk about what needs to be done now.

You might be wondering how the FON committee plans to go about its work. The first step will be bringing together people from across the country, who share a common goal: better care for patients. The committee’s goal is to identify best practices across the country and make sure those are implemented in communities where they are most needed.

The FON committee plans on using a number of different methods for getting input from stakeholders, including focus groups and online surveys. They also intend on holding meetings with local organizations so that they can get feedback on their work from those who are directly affected by it—and what kind of support or resources need improving in order for that work to continue being effective in those communities!

Conclusion

The FON committee is a great way to engage people across the country in this important work. I encourage nurses and others interested in bettering our profession to keep an eye on its progress and contribute as we move forward together.
