Campaign for Action - Action Coalition Leaders

Abstract

Action Coalitions (ACs) are the driving force of the Future of Nursing: Campaign for Action (CFA), a broad, national effort to drive implementation of the Institute of Medicine’s blueprint for ensuring that all Americans have access to high quality, patient-centered care in a health care system where nurses contribute as essential partners in achieving success.

ACs are built to effect long-term sustainable change in moving the recommendations into action. Comprised of diverse groups of stakeholders from a variety of sectors, their mission is to develop an issue strategy plan that will be the basis for coalition implementation efforts. ACs will further the overall initiative by capturing best practices, determining research needs, tracking lessons learned and identifying replicable models.
