As a result of drastic shorter length of stay, inpatient care has been limited to only acute care, and higher quality of nursing is required within a shorter period of stay. Most of the hospitals tend to lay off more registered nurses and to employ more unlicensed workers or ancillary nurses for the reduction of cost. The shorter length of stay has also brought higher needs in home care nursing. The current health care status in the U.S. has the following implications in nursing education: the importance of the faculty's role in coordinating the clinical nursing practicum, including the educational environment and instructions for students; the reinforcement of skills laboratory classes for students to learn nursing skills thoroughly; and the expansion of the education in community health nursing in order to meet the professional and work force demands in the community. It is highly recommended to prepare appropriate educational programs in nursing in Japan as envisioning the future health care reform in this country.}, pages = {123--127}, title = {アメリカにおける医療の変革に対する大学看護教育の現状と課題}, volume = {5}, year = {1999} }
