Last week, the National Academy of Medicine (NAM) released The Future of Nursing 2020-2030: Charting a Path to Achieve Health Equity, which focuses on ways nurses can bridge the health and social needs of individuals, families, and communities and better prepare nurses to respond to and withstand the strains of future public health emergencies. The report builds upon NAM’s 2011 landmark study The Future of Nursing, Leading Change, Advancing Health.
