Today’s Theme: Caring for Rural, Diverse and Underserved Populations
With enormous wealth, yet a fragmented health care system, a high level of poverty and illness, and poor health outcomes among many vulnerable populations, the U.S. has an unparalleled health paradox. In line with the 2010 landmark document, The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health, the DNP innovation is beginning to demonstrate impact in clinical practice, health systems change and nursing education. The critical question is: Will it make a difference in health care outcomes and health justice? This presentation reviews progress to date and the increase in DNP authorship on vulnerability.
Objectives:
1. Discuss health justice as the basis for DNP prepared nurses caring for vulnerable populations.
2. Review outcomes demonstrating how DNP prepared nurses are promoting health and justice across the nation.
3. Discuss the role of the DNP prepared nurse in authorship and public education in care of vulnerable populations
