Synthesis Assignment Instructions and Required Content:
Practice Environment and National Initiatives: As described in chapter 19 of your textbook, nursing practice and healthcare have changed radically in recent years. Your text outlines some of these changes and discusses the foundational reports/initiatives related to nursing practice. One example is the IOM/RWJF Future of Nursing report, which is provided in the Week 6 content folder.
Provide a summary of the changes that have occurred in the last two decades in the healthcare environment and the major reports and initiatives that specifically address the nursing profession. Basically, describe the report and why it was issued. Then, focus on providing context to the reports. This is the portion of the assignment that shows higher-level thinking. Do not just list what was recommended, but explain why those recommendations were important and how they affected nursing as a profession.
You will need to read outside of the summary presented in your textbook to fully understand this portion of the assignment.
