NUR274 Topics in Nursing: Factors Shaping Healthcare

In this edition of Futurescan, we hear from eight subject matter experts who cover such diverse areas as managing the growing Medicaid population and the social determinants of health that impact patients’ wellbeing, sustainability strategies to mitigate climate change and its effects, lowering the cost of care by using technology and moving it into patients’ homes, and redesigning work to meet the changing demands of our shrinking health care workforce.

Explores how nurses' roles, responsibilities, and education should change significantly to meet the increased demand for care that will be created by health care reform and to advance improvements in America's increasingly complex health system.
