New York State Action Coalition History, Purpose and Alignment to Campaign for Action

The Campaign for Action is a national campaign to transform health and healthcare through nursing. The Campaign for Action envisions a healthcare system where nurses contribute fully. The goals for the Campaign for Action are based on recommendations from the Institute of Medicine’s (now the National Academy of Medicine) Future of Nursing report.

The campaign is supported by the AARP Foundation, AARP, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. New York is one of 51 states to launch an action coalition. The New York State action coalition to mobilize nurses, health providers, consumers, educators, and businesses to strengthen nursing on multiple fronts.

The Future of Nursing 2010 – 2020 Report

The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health report was published by the Institute of Medicine October 5, 2010. The report was the culmination of two years of research on how to transform the nursing profession. The goal of the report was to ensure that the public has access to safe, quality, and cost-effective health care. This report was designed for policy-makers, government officials, insurance companies, and the public – all of who have a vested interest to ensure quality, safe, and cost-effective health care. Many of the panel members were not nurses. These recommendations aim to create a patient-centered healthcare system that relies on research and the transformative power of nursing to improve health across the country.
