The Unites States of America can transform its healthcare system to make available inexpensive, unified and quality healthcare to all the patients. If the country needs to achieve this, a transformation requires re-modeling of some aspects of the health care policies; especially for the nursing profession, or, in other words segment of the social insurance workforce. The report "Fate of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health” provides the following suggestions that can be implemented to change the quality of healthcare that can be provided to people of the US. The recommendations/suggestions are;

1. Nurses should complete their education and training completely;
2. Nurses can be motivated to assume leadership positions.
3. Records are necessary to plan for workforce and policy;

When IOM was approached to transform the nursing profession, it found out that the nursing profession faces a lot of issues, which does not allow the health care system to provide appropriate services. After the study on the nursing section of the health care system, IOM had launched a two year initiative to bring about these changes. Hence, overall IOM is the backbone which found the root cause of ill functioning of the nursing section and provided suitable recommendations.
