The summit will bring together diverse leaders from around the country to discuss the implications of the recommendations for the future of health care and the future role of nurses in America. Participants will identify strategies for implementing them and discuss overcoming barriers to adopting the recommendations.

Summit Objectives:

  • Officially “kick-off” the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Initiative on the Future of Nursing (IFN): Campaign for Action and mobilize participants to implement recommendations.
  • Inform thought leaders who are speaking about and making decisions around health care.
  • Connect the transformation of nursing to the transformation of health care delivery to patients/consumers for policy leaders and decision makers.
  • Present the implementation architecture plan for the RWJF IFN Campaign for Action to show stakeholder relevance and fit.
  • Begin to create a sustainable infrastructure to maintain implementation efforts and commitments.
