THIBAULT, MD The 2016 Macy Conference, Preparing Registered Nurses for Enhanced Roles in Primary Care, represents the intersection of three important Macy Foundation themes. First, we have a long-standing interest in preparing health professionals for careers in primary care dating back to our 2010 Macy Conference, Who Will Provide Primary Care and How Will They be Trained?1 The preparation of an appropriately sized and skilled primary care workforce is critical to the success of a reformed healthcare system that better meets the public’s needs. Second, we have had a long-standing interest in improving nursing education to prepare nurses for leadership roles in a reformed healthcare system. This has been expressed by our support for interprofessional education2 and our promotion of the careers of nursing educators.3 This Macy Foundation theme also is very closely aligned with the recommendations of the Institute of Medicine’s Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health4 report and the follow up National Academy of Medicine study of the impact of the report.5 Third, we have been very interested in working at the intersection of healthcare delivery reform and health professions education reform, believing that the close alignment of education and delivery reform is absolutely essential to achieve the common goal of both education and delivery—that is, better health of the public6. The idea for this conference was brought to us by the leadership of the American Academy of Nursing, and we will be partnering with the Academy in disseminating the recommendations to the nursing education community and the primary care practice community. The commissioned papers and the exemplar practice descriptions in this report make the case for change and show that these changes are achievable. But to make these enhanced roles for registered nurses more universal we will need to make progress in all six domains of the conference recommendations: 7 1. Changing the cultures in both nursing schools and practices to place greater value on primary care and the role of nurses in it. 2. Redesigning practices to make full use of the expertise of nurses. 3. Rebalancing nursing education to elevate primary care content. 4. Promoting the career development of nurses in primary care. 5. Developing primary care expertise in nursing school faculty. 6. Increasing opportunities for interprofessional education and teamwork development in both education and practice. The conferees felt strongly that there is great urgency in achieving all of these recommendations not only to meet patient needs, but also to enhance the professional satisfaction of nurses and all clinicians in primary care. This conference was a great success because of the experience, enthusiasm, and engagement of all the conferees. We had an outstanding planning committee that provided oversight for the commissioned papers, conference planning and execution, and the writing of the recommendations. And we had extraordinary leadership throughout the process from Diana Mason and Tom Bodenheimer. None of this would have happened without the meticulous administrative support provided by Yasmine Legendre. I am proud that the Macy Foundation has been able to make this contribution to nursing education reform and primary care transformation. George E.

The gap is growing between the population’s need for primary care and the capacity of primary care to meet that need. Soon, the number of retiring primary care physicians will exceed the number of primary care physicians entering the workforce.1 The panel size of the average primary care physician is too large to allow for excellent acute, chronic, and preventive care. Physician burnout is widespread and increasing. Yet a renewed enthusiasm and spirit of innovation can be found in primary care practices across the country. And nurses—nurse practitioners and registered nurses (RNs)—are poised to rescue primary care. The number of nurse practitioners entering the workforce each year has mushroomed from 6,600 in 2003 to 20,000 in 2015. Nurse practitioners will increasingly be the primary care practitioners of the future. Of the approximately 222,000 nurse practitioners, 83.4% are certified in an area of primary care.2 Yet the ratio of primary care practitioners (including physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants) to the population will still decline. Thus other professionals will be needed to care for the growing number of US adults with chronic conditions, as well as to focus on health promotion and address social determinants of health. Registered nurses, the largest health profession in the nation with over 3.5 million members, are ideally suited to provide the bulk of care for people with chronic illnesses. In primary care, RNs may assume at least four responsibilities: 1) Engaging patients with chronic conditions in behavior change and adjusting medications according to practitioner-written protocols; 2) Leading teams to improve the care and reduce the costs of high-need, high-cost patients; 3) Coordinating the care 11 of chronically ill patients between the primary care home and the surrounding healthcare neighborhood; and 4) Promoting population health, including working with communities to create healthier spaces for people to live, work, learn, and play. The number of RNs available to function in these enhanced primary care roles should be plentiful; from 2001 to 2014, the number of new nurses taking the NCLEX RN licensing exam more than doubled, from almost 69,000 to 158,000 per year.3 Already, 43% of US physicians are working with nurse care managers for patients with chronic conditions.4 And studies clearly show that RNs are qualified to perform these enhanced roles. For example, in a randomized controlled trial, diabetic patients with elevated blood pressures cared for by RN

  • Advancing Healthcare Transformation
    Advancing Healthcare Transformation A NEW ERA FOR ACADEMIC NURSING Advancing Healthcare Transformation A NEW ERA FOR ACADEMIC NURSING Manatt Health Project Team: Tom Enders, MBA Senior Managing Director Alex Morin, MA Manager Brenda Pawlak Managing Director Special Advisors: Margaret Grey, DrPH, RN, FAAN Annie Goodrich Professor Yale University School of Nursing Arthur Rubenstein, MBBCh Professor of Medicine University of Pennsylvania Raymond and Ruth Perelman School of Medicine MARCH 1, 2016 Dear Colleagues and Stakeholders, ransforming health care is a formidable challenge that can only be met through a coordinated response from academic and practice leaders from across the health professions. Nursing recognizes its important T role in steering this critical work and maintaining a laser focus on what is best for the public. Advancing Healthcare Transformation: A New Era for Academic Nursing was conceived from a desire to maximize nursing’s contribution to ushering in healthcare reform. Since 2013, AACN member deans from Academic Health Centers (AHCs) have engaged in robust discussions about the evolving role of schools of nursing in this unprecedented time of accelerating change. These forward thinking leaders were so passionate about this topic that they issued a call to action to the AACN Board of Directors. The deans formally asked the board to conduct a national study to better understand the possibilities and challenges ahead for academic nursing. In February 2015, AACN commissioned a comprehensive study on how to highlight nursing’s role in AHCs. Soon after, Manatt Health was selected to work with us in preparing this report on how to best position nursing schools for long-term success and sustainability.
