NURS 305 Exam 1 Review
Module 1: QSEN, Evidence Based Practice, IOM, Healthy People 2020, Nursing
Process
• Healthy people 2020- agencies, health disparities
-CDC launched by Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Office of
Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP) in 2010
4 goals:
1. High quality, longer lives free of preventable disease, disability, injury, and
premature death, 2. Health equity, eliminate disparities, and improve health of all
groups,
3. Social and physical environment that promotes good health for all,
4. Quality of life, healthy development, and health behaviors across all life stages
-health disparities: If a health outcome is seen to a greater or lesser extent between
populations, there is disparity
Examples: race or ethnicity, sex, sexual identity, age, disability, socioeconomic status,
and geographic location all contribute to an individual's ability to achieve good health
• IOM-
• (2008) Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) approached the Institute of
Medicine (IOM) to propose a partnership to transform the nursing
profession. 2-Year initiative created on the Future of Nursing
Key messages:
1. Nurses should practice to the full extent of their education and training
Barriers of nurses continuing education: fragmentation of the health
care system, high rates of turnover among nurses, difficult to transition
from school to practice and aging workforce. 2002; The Joint Commision
developed nurse residency programs to ensure a better school-practice
transition
2. Nurses should achieve higher levels of education and training through
an improved education system that promotes seamless academic
progression. Improved education system is necessary to ensure that
current/future generations of nurses can deliver safe, quality, patient-
centered care. Increase diversity, gender, race, ethnicity, and culturally
relevant care
3. Nurses should be full partners with physicians and other health
professionals, in redesigning health care in the U.S. Full partner: taking
responsibility for identifying problems/areas of waste, devising/implementing a
plan of improvement, tracking improvement, and adjustments. Nurses should
serve on advisory committees. Nurses must see policy as something they can
shape rather than something that happens to them
, 4. Effective workforce planning and policy making require better data
collection and an improved information infrastructure. Lack of data of the
numbers/types of health professionals employed, where they work, what
roles, and what activities they perform
