SEE YOU NOW Insight 10: How Nurses Are Working to Reform Healthcare

August 21, 2025

Detail

All across the country, nurses are designing evidence-based solutions that deliver whole-person, community-centered, prevention-focused care. But outside of the profession, few people know they exist. In this SEE YOU NOW Insight from Episode 102: Healthier Policies for Healthier People, nurse Vincent Guilamo-Ramos, PhD, MPH, LCSW, RN, executive director of The Institute for Policy Solutions at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing, shines a light on the hundreds of proven nurse-led interventions quietly transforming health outcomes, and shares how the Institute for Policy Solutions at Johns Hopkins aims to expand these innovations by creating policy pathways for scaling and spreading diverse, innovative and impactful models of care, and bring them to national attention by serving as a resource center where policymakers and news outlets can routinely seek nurses’ input. 

These programs, the hundreds of programs that exist, outside of nursing, few people sort of know about. They actually are the solution to what we need as a country in terms of how we think about health care.

Interprofessional collaboration is the practice of approaching patient care from a team-based perspective, with a team comprised of multiple health workers with varying professional backgrounds. By implementing interprofessional collaboration into healthcare environments, multiple disciplines can work more effectively as a team to help improve patient outcomes and better the workplace.
