Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States is rapidly transforming into one of the most racially and ethnically diverse nations in the world. Groups commonly referred to as minorities-including Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders, African Americans, Hispanics, American Indians, and Alaska Natives-are the fastest growing segments of the population and emerging as the nation's majority. Despite the rapid growth of racial and ethnic minority groups, their representation among the nation's health professionals has grown only modestly in the past 25 years. This alarming disparity has prompted the recent creation of initiatives to increase diversity in health professions. In the Nation's Compelling Interest considers the benefits of greater racial and ethnic diversity, and identifies institutional and policy-level mechanisms to garner broad support among health professions leaders, community members, and other key stakeholders to implement these strategies. Assessing the potential benefits of greater racial and ethnic diversity among health professionals will improve the access to and quality of healthcare for all Americans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Future of Nursing 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. At more than 3 million in number, nurses make up the single largest segment of the health care work force. They also spend the greatest amount of time in delivering patient care as a profession. Nurses therefore have valuable insights and unique abilities to contribute as partners with other health care professionals in improving the quality and safety of care as envisioned in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) enacted this year. Nurses should be fully engaged with other health professionals and assume leadership roles in redesigning care in the United States. To ensure its members are well-prepared, the profession should institute residency training for nurses, increase the percentage of nurses who attain a bachelor's degree to 80 percent by 2020, and double the number who pursue doctorates. Furthermore, regulatory and institutional obstacles-including limits on nurses' scope of practice-should be removed so that the health system can reap the full benefit of nurses' training, skills, and knowledge in patient care. In this book, the Institute of Medicine makes recommendations for an action-oriented blueprint for the future of nursing.

Download or read book Cost benefit Analysis of Professional Accreditation written by Frances Anne Freitas and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, resources are dwindling compared to the national debt, whereas revenue generation and cost containment are becoming priorities at all levels of government. In this resource-depleted environment, higher education spending has come under public scrutiny as one way to contain these costs. In the midst of national fiscal belt-tightening is society's need for large numbers of workers to retrain for a changing economy and to do more with less to sustain and develop quality education and services. Accreditation is one quality indicator that is coming under review in an attempt to cut costs. In this causal comparative study, the cost and benefit of the professional accreditation process for baccalaureate nursing programs was evaluated by baccalaureate education nursing administrators. The purpose of this study was to investigate administrators' perceptions and to compare their perceptions and observations about the cost and benefit of the accreditation process. The population under investigation was the identified leading baccalaureate nursing education administrators in charge of their respective nursing programs in the United States. A mailed survey was sent to gather data. From a total of 693 administrators, 393 (56.7%) responded to the survey. Of those who participated, 97% came from accredited programs, 2.3% came from non-accredited programs, and the remainder of the participants came from programs that were not accredited by choice. Data analysis demonstrated no significant difference in perceptions of total cost and benefits between public and private institutions. Significant differences were found in specific cost and benefit factors. Costs were identified in time committed by administrators, faculty, and staff as well as several other factors. Benefits were identified and included internal and external program factors. Recommendations made by administrators for improvement in the accreditation process included but were not limited to having longer time periods between accreditation visits; coordinating approval and all types of accreditation visits; and having clearer, consistent, and simplified expectations in the accreditation process.
