  <dc:description>The landmark 2011 Institute of Medicine report, The Future of Nursing, Leading Change, Advancing Health, recommends that advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) be allowed to certify patients for Medicare payment of home health and hospice services.

This report shows how removing this barrier would benefit consumers, physicians, and the health care system.</dc:description>
