The Future of Medical Research and Nursing

The report by Robert Wood Foundation Committee initiative on the forthcoming of the Institution of medical exploration and nursing highlights the need for transforming the nursing sector to enhance the healthcare system. The report recommends expanding the nursing section, increasing nursing schools, and restructuring the education system to produce well-learned and equipped nurses in society. The report also contributes largely to workforce development and provides adequate planning through enhancing a wide variation of education and deployment of nurses. Read more on Desklib.

Nursing is one of the faculty that takes the most significant force behind the health
system making it one of the most important professions in the sector. The health sector in the
country has faced some challenges that should be overcome to enhance quality health care.
These challenges led to the creation of a report by the committee that was set up to investigate
the future of nursing. Robert Wood Foundation Committee initiative on the forthcoming of the
Institution of medical exploration and nursing started with the aim of providing brilliant visions
that guide the whole framework for work. The concept developed by the committee helped look
for an entirely changed health care system that will address the sizeable American health care
and it is systems issues. With the argument about the affordable care act that took part in the
house of Congress, there was an increase in request for brilliant healthcare. The commission
considered creating a system that is reachable to all American residents. As a participant in the
business, the agency alleged that it is vital to expanding the duty of healthcare benefactors
specifically the nurses from both pharmacist and the primary. In the report titled “Future of
Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health.” The IOM and the team came up with a future
where the essential drivers of the health care structure which are primary care and prevention
(Committee, Robert & IOM, 2011). Personal collaboration and coordination were the demand of
the time, and they were to deliver affordable and quality health care to all people of the entire
public. The board in association with the IOM recognizes that some aspects in the nursing sector
should be transformed, including nursing career which takes the largest share in the health care
workforce.
The Robert wood foundation committee and the IOM instigated and established an
initiative which was to take two years, and its concern was the forthcoming of nursing. The
mission was to derive a report which had a commendation for action established blueprint

including the modification in the communal and formal policies at the state, countrywide and
native level in the future of the nursing sector. The commission came up with approvals after the
production of the report. They recommended that particular action should always be taken after
the examination. One of the proposals included the goal of bringing out the essential roles of
nurses in implementing an effective and quality health care system. They also considered
expanding the nursing section through increasing nursing schools and restructuring the education
system to produce well learned and equipped nurses in society. They were to make sure that
there is a thorough examination of healthcare delivery and education solutions that are provided
by the professional who is given priority to serve the people. Lastly, they ware to attract well-
educated nurses in most of the health care facilities and maintain them (Cherry & Jacob, 2014).
After accepting the unique role that the nurses played in the health care system, the IOM
came up with the recommendation. The recommendations are important because the nurses have
a better and scientific understanding of patients and the health care process across the health
sector. They also can work in the competence of other experts in the arena for the betterment of
the system. Some recommendations were also directed at reflecting the capacity to help reduce
the opening between access and coverage that will help manage patients and allow the gain
financial charge of their contribution.
The report “Future of Nursing” highpoints knowledge based on the exercise of the health
workforce but most of the nurses are not advanced practice registered nurses with high-quality
educations but work as registered nurses in society. The committee award all the sections in the
health sector including the nurses, clinical specialist, midwives and anaesthetists with a license
as an advanced practice registered nurses (Conway & Johnson, 2006). The licensing rule and
strict practice that changed depending on the state location were included in the report. The

report gives commendation for the different participant from departments and the Legislature to
confirm that nurse’s practitioners can perform to the complete competency of their learning and
training. The administration also helps promote reforms of federations by providing and
distributing motivations to create better preparation. Some endorsements were directed to the
Federal Trade Commission, which has a large targeted anticompetitive behaviour in the health
care sector. It aims at the drawback on providers of health services and the trade performances.
They try to limit and manage the entrance of prepared participants in the market (Iglehart, 2013).
The account establishes purposes based objective intended at enlightening the monitor of
the baccalaureate of fortified nurses to a more percentage by the year 2020 and twice the number
of nurses who hold large certificates that signify how high they are educated to cater for the
future population. Some campaign efforts have been created to enable student-centric policies
and rules such as common curriculum which allowed the students who want to further their
education not to learn some of the units more than one time. The management has realized a
collective area of understanding which required more nurses in the faculty of medicine. These
actions have encouraged the American Nursing Center to begin securing applicants to adjust
their numbers (Stevens, 2013). To add, most of the people in the community believe that even
though the nurses have graduated, they have to go and continue with further education to
increase their quality of service.
The report has also contributed largely to workforce development. It has provided
adequate planning through enhancing a wide variation of education and deployment of nurses
through deployed data which if tempered it affects the system. The committee also firmly
suggested that analyzed labor force data is a requirement for a proper valuation and projection of
the necessities and needs of the workers. The Robert Wood report also gave birth to the 2010

Affordable Care Act, whose role was to manage and control the establishment of a national
health workforce that will aid in measuring the demand of workers. There has been the creation
of a system that monitors the recruitment of workers (Reinhard & Hassmiller, 2013).
Concentrating on the position of the state-based action coalitions spearheaded in Texas,
where I come from, two main initiatives are promoted, and they play a vital role in ensuring that
there is high-quality healthcare in society. Team Texas believe that all members of the state
deserve a better health care system which is affordable and of low cost. The team has given
Texas nurses full authority to heal and also serve wisdom at food banks and farmers market.
The nurses have also devoted to helping provide quality care to the population regard of their
illness. Also, the action alliance is in operation to put into action the information that was given
by the Institute of Medicine (IOM). Some barriers such as the hurricane-battered disaster that hit
the state hospitals have encouraged the state to concentrate most on the health system. The
hurricane hit the coast finding more nurses and professional stuck at home. The country learned
from this scenario after that created hospitals and trained nurses who are ready to provide
emergency services to any disaster that arises. Nursing in the state have improved making the
state plan for more and depicts in a bemusing way in converting the laws to increase access to
nurses and healthcare services.
The health care service and workforce have improved due to action taken by the coalition
despite some few members who failed to collaborate giving the government and other board of
leaders hard times and opposition from improving the system. To sum up, Healthcare services
require full participation to archive desired goals.
