With the aging population, the prevalence of chronic disease is increasing, requiring a team-based approach to care with registered nurses (RNs) playing a vital role.
Nursing education generally prioritizes acute care rather than ambulatory care; however, nursing students should also be prepared to adequately respond to the population needs for longitudinal chronic care management.
To address the need for RNs to assume a role in chronic care management, a School of Nursing and Health Professions piloted a clinical option in which second-degree master of science in nursing students are prepared to function as health coaches on primary care teams at a local community health center.
Reshifting the focus of nursing education to integrate primary care nursing, it is important to embed nursing students into primary care practices where they can learn about the longitudinal care of patients with chronic conditions.
随着人口老龄化，慢性病的患病率不断上升，需要团队合作的护理方法，注册护士（RN）在其中发挥着至关重要的作用。
护理教育通常侧重于急症护理而不是门诊护理；然而，护理学生也应该为满足慢性病患者长期护理管理的需求做好充分准备。
为了让注册护士能够在慢性病管理中发挥作用，护理学院和健康专业学院试点了一种临床方案，即让护理硕士二年级学生在当地社区卫生中心的初级保健团队中担任健康教练。
将护理教育的重点转移到整合初级保健护理上，将护理学生嵌入初级保健实践中，让他们了解慢性病患者的长期护理，这一点非常重要。
