  2. Raise the Voice is a program funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and created by the American Academy of Nursing (AAN) to highlight how nurses can help transform America’s health care system • Nurses have the solutions to turn our nation’s expensive, fragmented and inaccessible health care system into one that is safe, effective, affordable and personalized.

  3. Raise the Voice has documented powerful examples of research-based solutions developed by Nurse Edge Runners that tackle serious health care challenges such as the uninsured, rising costs of care and health disparities • If adopted nationally, these programs could increase the efficiency of the health care system while reducing costs

  4. Some examples: • Evercare – A program developed by two nurse practitioners that serves people who have long-term or advanced illness, are older or have disabilities. The program overcame fragmentation in the health care system, reduced emergency treatments and hospitalizations and lowered costs to Medicare and Medicaid. It was so successful it has been adopted in 35 states and is now serving more than 120,000 people.

  5. Nurse-Family Partnership – A home visitation program that provides care via a registered nurse to first-time mothers for the first two years of a child’s life. The program improves pregnancy outcomes, child health and development, and the economic self-sufficiency of the family. It returns an estimated $2.88 per dollar invested and has been adopted in 23 states nationwide. • APN Transitional Care Model – A transitional care program led by advanced practice nurses (APNs) working in conjunction with a patient’s entire health care team to ensure a smooth transition from hospital to home. The program improves post-discharge outcomes, lowering rates of re-hospitalization and thereby reducing costs. A four-year trial resulted in a savings of approximately $5,000 per Medicare patient.

  6. Raise the Voice has been featured in numerous print and online publications nationwide, including: the Patriot-News (PA), State Journal Register (IL), Courier-Journal (KY), Modern Healthcare, Washington Times,New York Times blog, Health Affairs blog and an ad in The Hill
