Better Health, Better Care, Better Value — A Nursing Call to Action
Public polls tell us that Canadians have higher expectations of health care than any other public service. And the vast majority expect health care professionals to exert a strong role in improving health systems. The public has high trust in nurses but also very high expectations: they want attentive, communicative, engaged and individualized care—as well as informed political action—from their nurses. Steven Lewis has argued that nursing’s combination of numbers, reputation and reach should translate into power and influence over how health care is financed, organized and delivered. Yet politically, he says, the profession punches below its weight, and the country is the worse for it. In his multi-media presentation today, Michael Villeneuve will use evidence, humour and experience to push all of us in nursing to act as an effective political force in the effort to achieve better health, better care and better value for Canadians
