12 WHAT IS AT STAKE IF WE DO NOT CHANGE? Alabama s health rankings will continue as some of the worst in the nation (ranked 45th in 2012, 46th in 2011). Large numbers of Alabamians will remain uninsured and without access to primary and preventative health care. NPs in Alabama will continue to be restricted in practicing to the full extent of their education and training, thus further reducing access to care and causing NPs to flee the state. True interprofessional collaborative practice models, shown to result in safer, more effective care, will suffer. TAKE HOME POINTS Nursing is the catalyst for the Campaign for Action Goals to enhance access to care and improve health outcomes through inter-professional collaboration Action Coalitions exist in all 50 states and the District of Columbia Being an Action Coalition (AC) is a designation and entitles the AC to non-monetary resources from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and AARP 12

13 TAKE HOME POINTS Each State is structured differently; funded and non-funded Each State has different priorities based on their needs Ongoing evaluation of the plan to include a dash board with metrics and outcomes and revise as needed RWJF SIP Grant finalist Successfully achieved $75,000 seed money for SIP Grant ACTION COALITIONS NEED THE FOLLOWING TO BE SUCCESSFUL Strong Leaders Diverse Stakeholders Financial Resources Results Oriented 13
