title: Impacting the changing health care environment through collaboration and continuing education: the Nursing 2015 initiative example.
abstract: A collaborative initiative among three Ohio health care groups is focusing its efforts on change to enhance the practice of nursing. Continuing education enables currently practicing nurses to advocate for the advancement of nursing and participate in creating change in their practice environments. This collaborative model could be used by other states to enhance nursing practice.
