Question

What are the key opportunities for community and prevention-oriented, population-focused practice?

Answer 1

Ans) The new focus on populations, coupled with the integration of acute, chronic, and primary care occurring in some health care systems, is likely to create new roles for individuals, including nurses, who will span inpatient and community-based settingsand focus on providing a wide range of services to the populations served by the system.

- Such a role might be director of client care services for the health care system, who has administrative responsibility for a large program area.

- There will be a demand for individuals who can design programs of preventive and clinical services to be offered to targeted sub populations and for those who can implement such programs.
