Nursing is a practice profession: nursing education and staff development need to reflect this in every aspect. Many of the IOM and HMD reports that are relevant to nursing - especially those on quality issues - are the platforms for improvements throughout health care practice, policy, and education. This book is based in large part on the author's ongoing, first-hand conversations and collaborations with nurse educators, staff developers, and clinicians. It takes a real-world approach to implementing the IOM and reports into modern nursing practice.

Teaching IOM/HMD is organized into IOM's five core competencies for all health care professionals - patient-centred care, interprofessional teamwork, evidence-based practice, quality improvement, and informatics utilization. It features new and re-invigorated insights and ideas on why and how to understand the IOM and HMD reports and their recommendations individually and as a body of work.
