ANSWER
Patients in all settings deserve care that is tailored to their specific needs rather than what is most convenient for the health professionals involved in their care. A transformed healthcare system is required to achieve this goal. Transforming the healthcare system will necessitate a fundamental rethinking of many healthcare professionals’ roles, including nurses. The Affordable Care Act of 2010 outlines some new healthcare structures, and these structures will bring with them new opportunities for new roles.
Several programs and initiatives have already been developed to target necessary improvements in quality, access, and value, and many more are in the works. Nurses have the opportunity to play a key role in transforming the healthcare system to provide patients with a more accessible, high-quality, and value-driven environment. However, in order for the system to capitalize on this opportunity, outdated policies, regulations, and cultural barriers, including those related to the scope of practice, must be removed, most notably for advanced practice registered nurses.
