Inter-professional Collaboration Inter-professional Collaboration

Key Message #1: Nurses should practice to the full extent of their education and training.

Nurse leaders must:– work with state boards of nursing, state policy makers,

consumers and other health care professional organizations to remove restrictive scopes of practice.

– participate in efforts to assure appropriate use of advanced practice nurses and optimal roles for RNs in chronic disease and transitional care management.

Improve Access to Care

The Evidence

Over 10 studies show equivalent patient outcomes when care is provided by APRN or MD:

– Two Cochrane reviews (Hatem et al, 2008 and Laurant et al, 2004)

– RCT published in JAMA (Mundinger et al., 2000)

– No studies suggest care is better in states with tighter scope-of-practice restrictions

Role of the Registered Nurse

Refocus the role of the Registered Nurse to provide:

– Prevention and wellness care rather than acute care

– Community education and wellness

– Chronic disease case management

– Prevention of functional decline and need for hospitalization / placement in facility

Key Message #2: Nurses should achieve higher levels of education and training through an improved education system that promotes seamless academic progression.

Nurse leaders must:

– support academic progression of the nursing workforce.

– collaborate in developing and implementing transitional programs.

– identify, promote and support colleagues in pursuing doctorates.

Improve Education

– Lowered patient mortality

– Every 10% increase in BSN nurses results in 4% decrease in risk of death

– Lower number of medication errors and procedural violations

– Stronger critical thinking and leadership skills of BSN nurses

– 6% of nurses who graduate with AD get advanced degree, compared to 20% of BSN graduates

*Aiken et al., 2003; Aiken et al., 2009; Estabrooks et al., 2005; Friese et al., 2008;Tourangeau et al., 2007; Van den Heede et al., 2009

The Evidence

Key Message #3: Nurses should be full partners, with physicians and other health care professionals, in redesigning health care in the United States

Nurse leaders must:– act as full partners with other health care providers, being

accountable for their responsibility to deliver high-quality care.– work collaboratively with leaders from other health

professions.– identify and propose solutions to problems in care

environments.– devise and implement plans for improvement. – participate in health policy decision-making.

Promote Interprofessional Collaboration

Greater levels of collaboration between health professionals, especially between nurses and physicians, improves quality of care and patient outcomes

Barr, 2002; Barnsteiner et al, 2007

The Evidence

Prepare and Enable Nurses to Lead

Gallup survey of 1,500 opinion leaders:

– Predicted nurses will have little influence on health care reform over next 5-10 years

– Wanted nurses to have more influence in reducing medical errors, increasing quality of care and promoting wellness

– Believed nurses should have more input and impact in planning, policy development and management

*RWJF, 2010

The Evidence

Key Message #4: Effective workforce planning and policy making require better data collection and an improved information infrastructure

Nurse leaders must:– assist in the collection of data regarding both the

workforce and the demand for care from the populations we serve.

– determine the type of data to collect to accurately assess the demand for nursing services, particularly the specialties and geographic areas of nursing shortages.

Build Workforce Data

Move from evaluating simply “number” of hours to the content and quality of those hours

– CA BRN survey

• No nursing shortage!?!?

– Evaluating hours of nursing care across settings

• Can create methods of comparing quantitatively

long term care vs.

primary care vs.

home health care

Spetz et al., 2011; Van Cleave et al., 2011

The Evidence

Only with the right “mix” of data can we ensure the populations in most need will have the services and

health care that they need.
