Sample Solution
Practice, research, and education all need to change. In practice, creative, co-created, evidence-based models of care can generate new opportunities for registered nurses and advanced practice registered nurses with knowledge, leadership, and team-building skills to improve quality and address system change. Data can be used in research to demonstrate the benefit of nursing care and eliminate health disparities by expanding our knowledge base in symptom science, wellness, self-management, and end-of-life/palliative care, as well as behavioral health. Personalized, integrative, and technology-enabled teaching and learning in education can promote creative and critical thinking/decision-making, ethical and culturally inclusive practice foundations, team and communication skills, and quality and system improvements.
