Summers draws on her decades of experience in nursing to provide a unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities facing the profession today. She argues that nursing is no longer just a supportive role to physicians, but is now an essential part of the healthcare team. Nurses are the ones who are most closely connected to patients, and they have the knowledge and skills to make a real difference in their lives.

Summers points to a number of examples of how nurses are leading the way in improving quality care. For instance, she describes how nurses at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital reduced the rate of hospital-acquired infections by 50% by implementing a new protocol for hand hygiene. And she tells the story of how nurses at the Cleveland Clinic developed a new model of care that reduced the length of stay for patients with heart failure by 20%.

These are just a few examples of the many ways that nurses are making a difference in the healthcare system. Summers argues that nurses have the potential to revolutionize quality care, and she calls on healthcare leaders to recognize and support their efforts.

The Game Changer is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the future of healthcare. Summers provides a clear and compelling vision for how nurses can lead the way in improving quality care and transforming the healthcare system.
