HEALTH CARE REFORM: A Nursing Perspective

Tllese days national health care reform is on everyone's mind. In partiwlar nurses are conct'rned with how nursing will help shape tir e riform and how reform will impact the profession. Tire 1994 Alumnae/i College wi/1/ook at health care reform from a number of perspectives. Yale Nurse reprints with permission tire following article originally found in tire December, 1993 issut' of Medical Center Life, a newsletter published by YSN, Yale Medical School and Yale-New Havm Hospital (YN HH ). Written by Katie Krauss, Assistant Director, Ya le-Nw Ha vm Hospital Public Relations Office, it reflects remarks by Dean fudy Krauss arrd Diarra Weaver, Vice-Presiderrt for Nursing at YNHH .

As the national hea lth ca re reform movement took shape this year, many members of the Yale-New Haven community were consulted, including two leaders in the nursing profession. Judy Krauss, Dean of the Ya le School of Nursing, who al so is a psychiatric mental health nursing specialist, and editor of the journal, Arc/rives of Psychiatric Nursilrg, and Diana Weaver, Vice President fo r Nursing at Ya le-New Haven Hospital and president­ elect of the American Associa tion of Nurse Executives (AONE), share their thoughts about health care reform, nursing education and practice. Judy Krauss sta tes, " Health care has not been this political since Medicare and Medicaid were passed. Anything that consumes this much of our gross national product should be political. This spring, I wrote the American Nurses' Association (ANA) posi tion paper on the psychiatric and mental health aspect of health care reform which was submitted to the Clinton health ca re task force. We ad vocated for inclusion il nd parity of men­ tal health benefits along with general health benefits, and submitted a detailed plan for implementation." "I joined Virginia Betts, president of the ANA, in a private meeting with Mrs. Tipper Gore, who is taking the lead on the mental health aspects of reform. It was a rather info rmal meeting. We Sil t aro und the fi replace in her White Ho use office, and she served us tea and coffee. About halfway through the meeting, Mrs. Gore kicked off her shoes and curled up in her chili r. It was just like sitting around somebody's living room, til l king about health care reform. However, it was il very s ubstantive meeting- we discussed the contents o f the ANA position paper, talked about integrating mental heil lth into primary care settings, primary care nursing, training and education of nurses." "I was also part of a group of about 30 deans of nursing from around the country who consulted with the health care team about educational reform. Currently, because most nurses work in hos pitals, nursing educa tion has disproportionately emphasized acute c<~ re educa tion. We need to produce primary care providers and accel­ erate advanced practice nursing. That will shift the focus of nursing educa tion more in the d irection of communi­ ty-based, ambulatory and primary care settings, yet maintain an adequate supply of acute care nurses. This administration will truly have a major impact on nursing education. "The Clinton proposal is exciting because it is value-based. It is one of the few government policies in a long time to actually begin with a val ue stiltement. As a nurse, I hil ve to s<~ y that the notion of universal <~ ccess is ex tremely c ritic <~ I. And I daresily that most of the Americiln public- whether they are providers or consumers of hea lth care-can agree with it. While the political process could d estroy it, I am optimistic that this plan will result in a significant positive change in health ca re delivery." Diana Weaver explains, "I am exci ted about the Clinton initiative and the move toward reform. It's long over­ due. The ANA, which is backing the Clinton plan, took the lead in crafting a statement about what nursing believed was appropriate and impo rtant in any health care reform scenario. Through AONE, I attended a forum of all the major nursing organizations in Washington in October to talk about how each of us views the changes from our various and unique perspectives. "Probilbly the biggest sticking issue for the nursing o rganiZiltions is the appropriilte u;e of advanced practice nursing- both its provision and reimbursement. Initiall y, the Clinton refo rm movement did not talk a lot about "least-cost providers," but AONE, the ANA, and other nursing groups have lobbied for specific lang uage about advanced practice nursing. The American Hospital Associntion has backed us on that." "TI'e primary reasons people seek a physician's care are for a fever, cold, cough, o r s urgica l fo llow-up care. These patients could initially be seen by a less expensive health care provid er, with appropriate p rotocols for phyoician involvement. In general, this country has ignored the opportunities to use nurses effectively in advanced practice roles and to provide cost-effec ti ve primary care." "From my perspective, the reform movement will ultimately result in fewer nurses in hospitals, because more care will be provided in the community and at the p rimary ca re level. That is important for nurse executives and nurse educators to recognize. Historically, about 70 percent of nurses have worked in acute care hospitals, such a; YNHH. We will have to figure out how to re-deploy these nurses. That effort will be a major challenge. The profession will have to emphasize a somewhat different set of sl..ills. The acute, high intervention mentality is going to have to change. We need to prepare more nurses for community settings and educate and train them to be independent practitioners." "While I think there will be fewer nurses in hospitals, overall ) believe there will be more need for nurses than ever before because nurses will finally be able to utilize a ll that they can do." 5 Faculty Notes

6 CULTURAL DIVERSITY IN NURSING PRACTICE CONTINUES Linda Demas '89

This issue's features in Cultural Diversity in Nursing Practice present a picture of true diversity: focused studies in third world countries of Africa; a remarkable narrative of experiences in international nursing in the field; and, from "down under," Yale nurses consult with Australian colleagues regarding health care reform in that country.

This past summer YSN's two Downs Fellows gathered data in Africa in support of their master's thesis research. Anne Kiwanuka '94 studied the fea sibility of establishing a community-based nursing model in Uganda for assessing the needs of the pediatric H/V population. Susan Michaels-Strasser '95 collected data relative to the home care needs of rural 5/wna children with AIDS and their priman; care givers. Anne Kiwanuka '94

A few statistics reveal the the last time I had been in Uganda was in 1981. I remember that day clearly because I remember telling myself that I would never step foot on Ugandan soil again. From 1979 through 1981 I at­ tended Makerere University in Kampala. Thro ughout that entire period , there was civil unrest in the country. A majo r war broke out my first year at the university. On campus we had no wa ter and no electricity. At night the sounds of missiles and gunfire surround­ ed us. Eventually, the war ended with the overthrow of the brutal dictator, ldi Amin. Wi th Amin gone, Ugandans were very hopeful that the country would enter into a period of peace and democratic rule. However, the next fo ur regimes continued the atrocities of the deposed dictator, and the country sank further into mayhem and chaos. More than 500,000 Ugandans were killed during this time. In january of 1986, President Yoweri Museveni assumed power after fierce guerrilla warfare. Under his enlightened lead ership, Ugandans have begun the arduous task of rebuilding a wa r-torn society af­ ter 25 years of dictatorship and civil war.

I learned so much about the pain and suffering of those afnict­ ed with AIDS and I made many personal discoveries of how deeply this disease has touched the lives of Ugandan men and women.

I cried when Ivan, a six year old orphan who is HI V positive, ilsked his grand­ mother if his mommy was angry at him and if she would ever come home. I felt despilir when a beauti­ fu l young mother told me that she and her four year o ld son were newly di11gnosed as HI V positive and that she wils fi ve months pregnant.

Since SCt100L o r NVRS ING our goal is to raise $350,000 through the generosity of many donors, we have OtANA WEA\IER modified the procedure to allow for multiple contributions over a defined RN ,O N S VALE·NEW H AVEN H OSPtt ..L period of time. ln e ffect, we will be creating numerous small annuities which, when taken in combination, will act as a single annuity for Virg inia's benefit. We are asking all d ono rs to make their contribution w ithin a three month period, beginning February 1, 1994 and ending Apri1 30, 1994. We have established this time frame for two reasons. First, and most important, we want Virginia to be able to benefit fro m this effo rt as soon as possible­ clearly, annuity payments can only be made on cash in hand. Second, the 18 paperwork involved with annuity gifts makes it prohibitive to spread contributions over a long period of time. However, if the only way you can make a gift is with pledge payments spread over a longer period of time, please contact David Hilyard, whose number is listed at the bottom of the contribution form, to make special arrangements. Unfortunately, it is not administratively feasible to accept credit card charges fo r annuity gifts nor can we process a gift of under $100. We hope you wi ll join us in support of Virginia and her ongoing vision by making a generous leadership contri­ bution to the Fund. Please return your contribution with the enclosed form.
