Pennsylvania Nursing Workforce Coalition

As a statewide collaborative, we aim to achieve our goals by fostering relationships across sectors- including academia, government, healthcare, and non-profit and for-profit organizations.

PA-NWC works to promote a healthy Pennsylvania through improvements in the quality, accessibility and safety of nursing. PA-NWC aims to achieve its goals by building strategic partnerships throughout the state. The coalition comprises of a diverse group of local, regional, and state-level stakeholders. These include individuals and organizations from health care systems, academic institutions, nursing leadership organizations, businesses, community organizations, and anyone involved in advancing health care through nursing in Pennsylvania.

Mission and Vision

Our mission is to advance a nursing workforce that will lead healthcare transformation by cultivating strategic partnerships with diverse populations and organizations. We envision a healthy Pennsylvania through equitable, high-quality, and safe 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.
