Creating a Shared Agenda

There are many moving parts in equipping nurses to address health inequities. Therefore, it’s important for all nurses, nursing leaders, and organizations to be on the same page in understanding how health equity should be advanced.

To advance health equity, nurses and nursing organizations must collaborate to establish an agenda that addresses social determinants of health. In this episode, nursing experts explain why a shared agenda is critical, how nurses and organizations can collaborate with each other to create this agenda, and how nurses can use their voices in nontraditional ways to create solutions that address health inequities. 

In this episode, we hear from:

Dr. Victoria Tiase, informatics nurse, Director of Research and Science at New York Presbyterian Hospital

Dr. Martha Dawson, President of the National Black Nurses Association

Dr. Angie Millan, nurse practitioner, Past President of the National Association of Hispanic Nurses

Ms. Maureen Bisognano, president emerita and senior fellow at the Institute for Healthcare Improvement
