Nurse-Led Care

Image of nurse leaderNurse-led care exists at the intersection of multidisciplinary healthcare, where nurses have a transformative role as holistic caregivers, advocates, and leaders. Nurses have unique skills and insight to treat the whole person, serving as a critical connection between compassionate and evidence-based healthcare.

Nurse leaders can be found in the community, the exam room, government offices, educational institutions, and more.

How NNCC Supports Nurse-Led Care

Resources: We offer a wide variety of educational opportunities including webinars, reports, and in-person training. This training helps nurse leaders build their practice, make it sustainable, and improve the quality of care.

Policy: We advocate for nurse-led care, including full practice authority for advanced practice nurses and nursing workforce development funding. We fight in Washington DC and in state legislatures on your behalf.

Membership: Members have access to more resources and discounted educational opportunities. Members also receive discounted rates to our Annual Conference, and gain access to NNCC’s nurse-led care network.

Public Health Programs: Programs like the Nurse-Family Partnership and Mabel Morris Family Home Visit Program are public health nursing in action. We build and manage public health programs in Philadelphia (our headquarters) to serve as national models for public health and nursing.

TCPI Power Packs

TCPI Power Packs

As the only professional nursing organization involved in the Transforming Clinical Practice Initiative (TCPI) we were part of a collective of 10 professional associations charged to assist over 140,000 clinicians in improving how care is delivered by providing technical assistance support for integrating quality and process improvements, and by building on and spreading existing change methodologies, practice transformation tools, published literature, and technical assistance programs.

In collaboration with other SANs we developed a number of Power Packs to spread the transformational work undertaken by clinicians and practices nationally.

Each Power Pack presents a specific service delivery challenge and the steps taken by the spotlighted practice to address the challenge. Power Packs provide a set of change tactics and resources from the SANs and other professional associations that clinicians can use to address a similar challenge within their own practices.
