Course Description:
Change in the healthcare industry is occurring at an unprecedented rate. In the last two decades, economic and political forces have combined to create tremendous pressure to control costs, ensure safety and quality, and increase healthcare access. Current trends facing the American healthcare system include steady population growth, increasing racial and ethnic diversity, dramatic aging of U.S. population, prevention and management of chronic disease, and a transition of care from hospital to community settings. As a result of these trends, the healthcare industry and the nursing profession will continue to experience consistent change. This module will help nurses understand how they can participate in changes that will continue to improve healthcare in the United States.
