What healthcare challenges are being faced today?

Today the profession faces multiple challenges. Nurses and nurse educators are revising nursing practice and school curricula to meet the ever-changing needs of society, including an aging population, bioterrorism, emerging infections, and disaster management. Advances in technology and informatics (see Chapter 26), the high acuity level of care of hospitalized patients, and early discharge from health care institutions require nurses in all settings to have a strong and current knowledge base from which to practice. Nursing organizations and the RWJF are currently involved in programs to support nursing scholars, decrease the nursing shortage, and improve the health of the nation's population (RWJF, 2014a, b). Nursing is taking a leadership role in developing standards and policies to address the needs of the population now and in the future.
