"The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Initiative on the Future of Nursing, at the IOM, seeks to build a blueprint for the future of nursing as part of larger efforts to reform the health care system. The Initiative held three public forums to explore challenges and opportunities in nursing. The second forum, which took place December 3, 2009, examined care in the community, focusing on community health, public health, primary care, and long-term care. Presenters described examples of best practices in the community that shed light on what is needed to meet the country's changing health needs." (excerpt from website)
