title: Making nurses full partners in redesigning health care in North Carolina.
abstract: The Institute of Medicine of the National Academies recommends that nurses take a lead in reforming health care but recognizes significant barriers to nurses assuming such roles. In North Carolina, nurses must be on hospital boards, active in health policy debates, and empowered at the bedside and must lead financial decisions that improve care and keep hospitals financially viable.
