Team work, patient and worker safety, culturally appropriate care, efficiency, and cost effectiveness will become even more critical, and citizen expectations for safety and quality of care will be the norm. New technologies, consumer expectations for positive health outcomes, and governmental programs to increase access to care will reshape the healthcare system of today and tomorrow. 1 These changes will occur as the population ages and the prevalence of chronic disease continues to increase. Over the next decade, healthcare will shift from a volume to a value based business model, with an increased emphasis on health and wellness, and community based chronic disease management. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of Hawai‘i's nursing workforce in relationship to statewide population demographics, healthcare needs and gaps, and then outline steps being taken by the profession to address these needs and gaps while implementing the Institute of Medicine recommendations. Current gaps in nursing specialty education include school health and mental health. The Hawai‘i State Center for Nursing collects ongoing data on the nursing workforce to inform strategic planning.
