RWJF Launches New Website on the Future of Nursing

As part of the Initiative on the Future of Nursing, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) has launched http://www.thefutureofnursing.org. The site serves as a resource for health care leaders, policymakers, consumers, and other stakeholders and provides access to the research and data behind the Institute of Medicine (IOM) report recommendations, as well as ideas, action steps, and resources, including toolkits and template materials, that community leaders across the country can use to implement the recommendations.

On November 30, 2010, RWJF will host a live webcast of the National Summit on Advancing Health through Nursing, featuring Summit keynote speaker Donald Berwick M.D., M.P.P., F.R.C.P., administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services; and presentations by Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, M.D., M.B.A., RWJF president and CEO; and Donna Shalala, Ph.D., and Linda Burnes Bolton, Dr.P.H., R.N., FAAN, chair and vice chair of the Committee on the RWJF Initiative on the Future of Nursing, at the IOM.

Visit the new website.

Register for the webcast.

Stay connected with the implementation of the recommendations.
