title: Interview with quality leaders: Dr. Donna E. Shalala and Dr. Linda Burnes Bolton on the committee on the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation initiative on The Future of Nursing at the Institute of Medicine. Interviewed by Diane Storer Brown.
abstract: The Institute of Medicine released a consensus report in October 2010, titled The Future of Nursing (FON): Leading Change, Advancing Health, which concluded significant change was needed in nurses' roles, responsibilities, and education to meet the increased demand for care that will be created by health care reform and to advance improvements in America's increasingly complex health system (http://www.iom.edu/Reports/2010/The-Future-of-Nursing-Leading-Change-Advancing-Health.aspx). Dr. Donna Shalala, Chair of the study, and Dr. Linda Burnes Bolton, Vice Chair of the study, spoke about the Future of Nursing (FON) at the Collaborative Alliance for Nursing Outcomes (CALNOC) conference to a predominately nursing and quality professional audience. This follow-up interview expands the discussion specifically for quality professionals, many of whom are nurses.
