    What is the role of health care reform in shifting the focus from a disease-oriented health care system toward one of wellness and prevention, and how does nursing fit into this shift?

    Many people are dying from preventable diseases than need be. The role of health care reform in shifting the focus from a disease-oriented health care system toward one of wellness and prevention is helping Americans remain healthy and fit and prevent people from succumbing to preventable diseases. The health and vitality of Americans are critical to the productivity and innovation essential for our nation’s future. Students who are healthy are coming to school ready to learn, employees who are free from mental and physical illness take fewer sick days and are more beneficial to our economy (Benjamin, 2011). Although the U.S. spends more on health care than any other country, our nation ranks lower than several other nations in life expectancy, infant mortality, and other healthy life indicators (Benjamin, 2011). Healthcare reform is going to increase the use of preventive services such as, tobacco cessation screening, and alcohol abuse screening.This could save $3.7 billion annually in medical costs. Shifting our nation’s focus toward preventive health will not only result in cost savings but, more importantly, will save and improve lives (Benjamin, 2011). A few other focus areas include, building more healthy and safe communities, enhancing the quality of air, water and land, thereby decreasing the exposure to toxic environmental hazards.

    Nursing fits into health care reform in a huge way because we are who people come to for preventive services. Nurses need to be available to run or contribute to preventive clinics that screen for diabetes, cancer, immunizations, etc. When people have better health, the cost of health care decreases. While preventive services are traditionally delivered in clinical settings, some can be delivered within communities, work sites, schools, residential treatment centers, or homes. Clinical preventive services can be supported and reinforced by community-based prevention, policies, and programs (Hassmiller, 2010). Nurses are educators. By word of mouth and teaching alone, nurses can educate people to make good healthy decisions regarding their own health. Nurses can reach people in all communities no matter the background. No community, person, or population should be left behind.

    What is the role of health care reform in shifting the focus from a disease-oriented health care system toward one of wellness and prevention, and how does nursing fit into this shift?

    The role of the health care reform in shifting the focus from a disease-oriented health care system toward one of wellness and prevention by presenting a guideline of measures that creates a healthy lifestyle. This includes creating healthy living environments, safe communities, better access to community and preventive measures such as screenings and immunizations and elimination of health disparities. Other areas of priority include: healthy eating and exercise, mental health, reproductive health and a drug and tobacco free lifestyle (Benjamin, 2011).

    The nurse fits into this shift by educating the patient about health and wellness measures. Explaining the benefits of a healthy lifestyle and what interventions can be taken that is obtainable by the patient such as a proper diet. They also have the ability to assess the needs of the patient and refer them to programs and resources within the community. Resources such as home aids to prevent falls, dieticians to help with healthy eating, AA meetings or clinics that offer educational programs or screening for diabetes etc. In addition, nurses are the patient’s advocate and work closely with the patient more than any other health team member. Nurses can join their concerns together and become a voice to change polices or create improvement in their facilities, hospitals, communities or even their state.

As the country focuses on the restructuring of the U.S. health care delivery system, nurses will continue to play an important role. It is expected that more and more nursing jobs will become available out in the community, and fewer will be available in acute care hospitals.

  1. Write an informal presentation (500-700 words) to educate nurses about how the practice of nursing is expected to grow and change. Include the concepts of continuity or continuum of care, accountable care organizations (ACO), medical homes, and nurse-managed health clinics.
  2. Share your presentation with nurse colleagues on your unit or department and ask them to offer their impressions of the anticipated changes to health care delivery and the new role of nurses in hospital settings, communities, clinics, and medical homes.
  3. In 800-1,000 words summarize the feedback shared by three nurse colleagues and discuss whether their impressions are consistent with what you have researched about health reform.
  4. A minimum of three scholarly references are required for this assignment.
