Change of the U.S. health care system and its global impact

Abstract

It's very interesting to read some of the fragments of the report The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health at the Institute of Medicine (IOM) which deals with the discussion of the most efficient and effective place of nursing in the system of health care in the U.S. in the years of change of the health system. One of the proposals under discussion points out that nurses can fill new roles, expanding them and thus redesigning the health care system, with doctors and other health professionals. The nurses, however, must take the lead of the tasks and the primary care and prevention should guide the health system.
