As the country focuses on the restructure of the U.S. health care
delivery system, nurses will continue to play an important role. It is
expected that more and more nursing jobs will become available out in
the community, and less will be available in acute care hospitals.
Write a speech of 500-700 words to educate nurses about how the
practice of nursing is expected to grow and shift. Include the concepts
of continuity or continuum of care, accountable care organizations
(ACO), medical homes, and nurse-managed health clinics.
