Nurses will continue to play an important role as the country focuses on restructuring the United States’ health-care delivery system. More nursing jobs are expected to become available in the community, while fewer will be available in acute care hospitals.

Create an informal presentation (500-700 words) to inform nurses about how the nursing profession is expected to evolve and change. Include concepts such as continuity of care, accountable care organizations (ACO), medical homes, and nurse-managed health clinics.
Share your presentation with your unit or department’s nurse colleagues and ask them to share their perspectives on the anticipated changes in health care delivery and the new role of nurses in hospital settings, communities, clinics, and medical homes.
In 800-1,000 words, summarize three nurse colleagues’ feedback and discuss whether their impressions are consistent with what you have learned about health reform.
This assignment requires a minimum of three scholarly references.
