Nurses have substantial expertise that can help more people access high quality care. But often, nurses across the nation are restricted from practicing to the full scope of their education and training.
Removing barriers to nursing scope of practice is critical to advancing health equity. In this episode, we hear stories from advanced practice nurses who were sometimes not allowed to practice at the top of their education and training. They, along with other health experts, share how they responded, how these barriers impact health outcomes, and how they can be removed. We also explore how valuing nurses’ contributions through reformed payment systems allows nurses to further address health inequities.
In this episode, we hear from
Dr. Mary Joy Garcia-Dia, president of the Philippine Nurses Association of America
Dr. Ashley Darcy-Mahoney, nurse practitioner
Dr. Mary Wakefield, the co-chair of the Future of Nursing 2020 2030 committee
Ms. Maureen Bisognano, president emerita and senior fellow at the Institute for Healthcare Improvement.
Dr. Marshall Chin, general internist and health equity researcher at the University of Chicago
