2010 IOM Future of Nursing Report &
Health Care Reform:
Impact on Nursing Practice & Nursing
Education
2. How is „nursing practice‟
connected to „health care reform‟?
“Many unknowns about health care remain as the
country pushes forward with health care reform. But
one thing is certain. The US cannot adequately
address the challenges facing its health care system
without addressing the challenges facing the nursing
profession. Nurses are the largest segment of the
heath care workforce and are essential to providing
quality care…….The goal of this initiative is to help
transform nursing as part of far-reaching reforms in
the health care system.”

9. Why are IOM Reports Essential to Nursing
Education?
The IOM Reports:
1) provide evidence how to improve our healthcare
system
2) provide evidence how to improve the health of
Americans & improve patient outcomes in our
nursing practice
3) IOM focus is also on healthcare professions
education with goal of a consistent framework with
all healthcare professions education emphasizing
interdisciplinary care

Recommendations:
Leading Change, Advancing Health Report
1) Nurses should practice to the full extent of their
education and training.
2) Nurses should achieve higher levels of education and
training through an improved education system that
promotes seamless academic progression.
2) Nurses should be full partners, with physicians and
other health care professionals, in redesigning health
care in the United States.
2) Effective workforce planning and policy making require
better data collection and an improved information
infrastructure.

14. IOM & Nursing Education
“The IOM reports are at the center of the current
restructuring of healthcare systems and the movement
toward inter-professional work, and they influence funding
from research, education, and health policy agencies and
professional organizations. They ( IOM reports) should
therefore be at the core of all nursing education
programs.” Finkelman& Kenner, (2009) Teaching
IOM, P.xvii.
“Educators often feel they know what needs to be taught
though they have long been out of practice or only practice
intermittently. This is a dangerous stand to take and may
have poorly served students or employers who hire new
graduates. This is also not serving our consumers, patients
and their families.” Finkelman& Kenner, (2009)Teaching
IOM, pp.xviii-xix.

15. 1999 IOM Report: To Err is Human
The report identified remarkably high incidence of errors in
health care. At least 44,000 to 98,000 people die in hospitals
each year in the US as a result of medical errors that could have
been prevented, based on estimates from two major studies.
Definition of „medical error‟-the failure of a planned action to be
completed as intended or the use of a wrong plan to achieve an
aim.
The highest incidence of medical errors with serious
consequences occurs more frequently in ICUs, ORs, and EDs.
Recommendation of need to change to blame-free environment
which does not focus on punishing individuals for errors but
changes to a root cause analysis to determine individual practice
and system problems which result in errors.

16. 2001 IOM Report: Crossing the Quality Chasm 2001
The report found our
health care system is
fragmented, inefficient, an
d poorly organized.
IOM 1990 definition of
„quality‟-“the degree to
which health services for
individuals and
populations increase the
likelihood of desired health
outcomes and are
consistent with current
professional knowledge.”
The report identified
„quality‟ as a system
property with six important
improvement aims.
Health care „quality‟ should be:
Safe
Effective
Patient-centered
Timely
Efficient
Equitable
16
3.1.2013Paulette C Compton, RN, MSN, MC
17. 2003 IOM Report: Patient Safety:
Achieving a New Standard of Care
The report identified the need for a much broader approach to
patient safety than was first stated in To Err is Human.
Definition of „patient safety‟-The prevention of harm to
patients, where harm can occur through errors of commission and
omission.
The report describes the need for commitment from all stakeholders
to a culture of safety and improved information system, which us
clinical data at point of care to prevent, recognize, and recover from
adverse events.
Recommended need HHS assume lead role for establishing a
standards-based nation health information infrastructure to support
comprehensive patient safety programs to detect and analyze
adverse events and near misses.

Future Core Competency Model)
AZ EPCTF Meeting, Feb 22, 2013
40. Arizona Assumptions
(Adopted from Massachusetts Assumptions, 2.22.13)
1) Education and Practice partnerships are key to
developing an effective model.
– Nursing education and practice setting should facilitate individuals
to move more effectively move through the educational system.
– An integrated practice/education competency model will positively
impact patient safety and improve patient care.
– Nursing practice should be differentiated according to the
registered nurse‟s educational preparation and the level of practice
and further defined by the role of the nurse and the work setting
– Practice environments that support and enhance professional
competence are essential.
40
AZ EPCTF Meeting, Feb 22, 2013
41. Arizona Assumptions
(Adopted from Massachusetts Assumptions, 2.22.13)
2) It is imperative that leaders in nursing education
and practice develop collaborative curriculum
models to facilitate the achievement of a minimum
of a baccalaureate degree in nursing (BSN) by all
nurses.
– Advancing the education of all nurses is increasingly being
recognized as essential to the future of nursing practice.
– Evidence has demonstrated that nurses with higher education levels
have a positive impact on patient care.
*Please note this assumption does NOT state „BSN minimal entry into
practice‟ but means the goal is for all RNs, including Diploma &
Associate RNs, to achieve BSN through collaborative curriculum
models.
41
AZ EPCTF Meeting, Feb 22, 2013
42. Arizona Assumptions
(Adopted from Massachusetts Assumptions, 2.22.13)
3) There is a need to develop a more effective
educational system that is capable of incorporating
the shifting demographics in order to prepare the
nursing workforce to respond to current and future
health care needs and population health issues.
– The competencies are designed to be applicable across
all care settings and to encompass all patient
populations across the lifespan.
– In this global society, essential to the care of diverse
populations is the need for evidence-based knowledge
and sensitivity to variables such as
age, gender, culture, health disparities, socioeconomic
status, race, and spirituality.
42
AZ EPCTF Meeting, Feb 22, 2013
43. Arizona Assumptions
(Adopted from Massachusetts Assumptions, 2.22.13)
4) The nurse of the future will be proficient at a core
set of competencies.
– There is a differentiation in competencies among practicing nurses
at various levels.
– Competence is developed over a continuum and can be measured
5) Nurse educators in both education and practice
settings will need to use a different set of
knowledge and teaching strategies to effectively
integrate the Nurse of the Future competencies
into curriculum.
43
AZ EPCTF Meeting, Feb 22, 2013
44. Additional Arizona Assumption
Approved
6) As nurses and patient advocates, the AZ EPC
Task Force supports the need for increased
education for all nurses because with increasingly
complex health care, the patient requires a more
educated nurse in order to deliver effective and safe
care.
The Massachusetts NOF assumptions and the above
additional assumption were adopted by the AZ
EPCTF on Feb 22, 2013.
44
AZ EPCTF Meeting, Feb 22, 2013
45. AZ Nurse of the Future: Core Nursing Competencies
These competencies are the expectations for all
professional nurses of the future.
The Knowledge, Attitude and Skills (KAS)
grids are the minimal expectations for initial
nursing practice following completion of any pre-
licensure professional nursing educational
program.

STUDY RESULTS: N=436 (38.6%) newly licensed RNs thought
they were “poorly” or “very poorly” prepared about or had
“never heard of QI.” BSN grads reported significantly higher
levels of preparation in EBP, evidenced-based practice;
assessing gaps in practice, teamwork, collaboration; and many

STUDY CONCLUSIONS:
Due to gaps between theoretical presentation of quality and safety
information and demonstrated application in practice, need to focus
on redesign of curriculum content to include quality and safety
