About the Book
"Health Equity and Nursing: Achieving Equity Through Policy, Population Health, and Interprofessional Collaboration is designed to: 1. Illuminate nursing's role in achieving health equity; 2. Examine current and emerging topics of relevance to achieving health equity; and 3. Articulate future directions for advancing the health equity agenda through nursing education, practice, research and policy advocacy. This textbook consists of 18 chapters divided into three sections. Each chapter includes learning objectives, key terms, key objectives and related resources. The proposed text expands on existing discussions and resources on health equity by including an in-depth overview on health equity coupled with specific implications for the nursing profession. Although there are many nurse leaders who have contributed to this text, we included interprofessional examples and contributors, as well. It is through understanding policy and change, the populations that are most affected by inequalities, and the necessity of interprofessional collaboration that we can move the needle on achieving health equality"--Book Synopsis
