Question

what do you see as the priorities for nurse leaders to accommodate the aging nursing workforce? What has been your experience with the aging nursing workforce in your practice arena?

Answer 1

Ans) Nurses are already committed to delivering high-quality care under current regulatory, business, and organizational conditions.

- But the power to change those conditions to deliver better care does not rest primarily with nurses, regardless of how ably led or educated they are; it also lies with governments, businesses, health care institutions, professional organizations and other health professionals, and the insurance industry.

- The recommendations presented in this report are directed to individual policy makers; national, state, and local government leaders; payers; health care researchers; executives; and professionals—including nurses and others—as well as to larger groups such as licensing bodies, educational institutions, and philanthropic and advocacy organizations, especially those advocating for consumers.

- Together, these groups have the power to transform the health care system to provide seamless, affordable, quality care that is accessible to all, patient centered, and evidence based and leads to improved health outcomes.
