in that future especially in producing safe, quality care and coverage for all patients in our

health care system.”

IOM Key Messages

The nursing profession plays a key role in healthcare due to the fact that nurses provide direct patient care.

Nurses run into a number of barriers that prevent them from the ability to practice to the full extent of their degree.

With the rapidly changing health care system and the Affordable Care Act, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) looks to nurses to take on a leadership role to meet these demands.

The IOM developed four key messages with eight recommendations for how to meet these key messages. Released in October 2010

IOM Key Messages Cont.

Created to: Explore challenges of the future of the nursing

profession. Agreed that high quality care could not be done

without high quality nursing leadership. To strengthen one of the largest components of the

health care workforce- Nurses. Have nurses become partners and leaders in the

change in health reform. To recommend change in the education and training

of nurses.
