Chamberlain University Launches Actionable Framework to Expand National Focus on Increasing Diversity in Nursing - Seite 2

The Social Determinants of Learning framework and research - authored by the Chamberlain University leadership team of Associate Provost Linda M. Hollinger-Smith, PhD, RN, FAAN, ANEF; Provost Carla D. Sanderson, PhD, RN; and President Cox - is aligned with the direction of the National Academy of Medicine’s Future of Nursing 2020-2030 report to create a foundation for increasing diversity in the nursing profession and advancing health equity. It outlines for the first time, through a research-based framework, the connections with Social Determinants of Health, the widely accepted model that outlines conditions influencing health status and which serves as a reference point for healthcare leaders to define patient-focused community health solutions.

Designed to be applied to education in general, Social Determinants of Learning is first being applied to schools of nursing to encourage a unified approach in assuring student persistence to graduation and success on the NCLEX nursing licensure exam. Elements of the Social Determinants of Learning framework research paper were introduced at the 2021 Higher Learning Commission Annual Meeting earlier this year and the wider public launch was timed to this month’s NLN Summit this month to expand the effort with introduction of an informational website and invitation for wider collaboration.
