Population health

Population health has never been more crucial in nursing education, practice, and health care in general than it is today. The health of the nation appears to be declining, with key health indicators dropping or lagging among some demographics, and yet, our country spends more on health care per capita than any other industrialized nation. Recently, there has been a renewed focus on population health strategies and idea of building a culture of health. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) has taken a lead in this work, and in 2016, the RWJF commissioned the report entitled, Re-Imagining Nurses' Role to Improve the Health of the Population in the 21st Century (Storfjell, Winslow, Saunders,& S.D, 2017).
