The highly skilled and highly trusted nursing workforce constitutes the nation’s largest group of health care professionals. Leveraging the skills and scale of the nursing workforce can meaningfully advance whole-person health and health equity within Medicaid. This webinar will explore how to harness the nursing profession’s full potential by refining care models, addressing policy barriers, and fostering aligned payments.

Key topics include:

• How a nurse-led model of care can address both clinical and social care to eliminate health and health care inequities in Medicaid
• Opportunities for optimizing the nursing workforce in strengthening the safety net
• Policy and financing recommendations that could support greater scale up of nurse-led care.

This discussion will build on a recent paper published in Nursing Outlook coauthored by several participating presenters which considered how the adoption of a nurse-led model of care can improve access to and quality of care for Medicaid members.

Presenters:

• Kody Kinsley, Secretary of Health and Human Services, North Carolina
• Dr. Vincent Guilamo-Ramos, Professor at Johns Hopkins School of Nursing (SON) and Executive Director of Johns Hopkins’ SON The Institute for Policy Solutions
• Linda Elam, Managing Director, Manatt Health
• Megan Ingraham, Managing Director, Manatt Health
