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.
