Abstract

The looming shortage of nurses and the faculty to educate them threatens Americans' access to quality health care across all settings. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) Foundation, and AARP are joining together to raise the level of awareness of this crisis and solutions to resolve it in a sustained way. These leaders in health and social change created the Center to Champion Nursing in America (the Center) to ensure Americans have the highly skilled nurses we need to provide affordable, quality health care now and in a reformed health care system. Through national summits and technical assistance with states, the Center and RWJF are collaborating with a broad range of partners to increase nursing education capacity. At the national level, the Champion Nursing Coalition represents the voice of consumers, purchasers, and providers of health care to support solutions to the nurse and nurse faculty shortage. Working with this broad constituency, the nursing community can better address the workforce concerns that affect the people we serve.

摘要

护士短缺以及师资力量不足的问题，威胁着美国人在各种医疗环境下获得高质量医疗保健服务的机会。罗伯特·伍德·约翰逊基金会（RWJF）、美国退休人员协会基金会（AARP 基金会）和美国退休人员协会（AARP）正在共同努力，提高对这一危机及其解决方案的认识，以持续解决这一问题。这些医疗和社会变革领域的领导者共同创建了“美国护理领导中心”（the Center），以确保美国人拥有高技能的护士，从而能够在当前和医疗改革体系下提供负担得起的、高质量的医疗保健服务。通过全国峰会和与各州的技术援助，该中心和 RWJF 正在与广泛的合作伙伴合作，以增加护理教育能力。在国家层面上，“护理领导联盟”（Champion Nursing Coalition）代表了医疗保健消费者、购买者和提供者的声音，以支持解决护士和护理教师短缺的问题。与这个广泛的利益相关者群体合作，护理界可以更好地解决影响我们服务对象的劳动力问题。
