Florida Nursing Initiatives Transforming Health Care
Two Florida initiatives promise better health care delivery for patients. The nursing-led initiatives—simulation technology for teaching and an innovative coalition of nursing, industry, and policy leaders look to maximize health care delivery in the state and serve as a model for transforming health care nationwide.
Simulation technology uses “sophisticated, life-like robots” to emulate illnesses and treatment practices and procedures to train nursing students, greatly increasing the capacity of nursing schools. The second—a “think tank” coalition of professionals from across the health spectrum is designed to both expand the role of nurses and strengthen nurse education and training.
