Abstract

A strategic planning format comprised three small group sessions focused on research, education, or practice followed by a large group meeting in which common priority areas were identified. These were to achieve field identity and definition, enhance translational and interdisciplinary research and dissemination, and secure human and organizational resources. Meeting these goals will require effective strategies and fiscal resources to recruit scientists, educators, and clinicians to the field; change attitudes within and outside nursing; and build on previous successes in psychiatric mental health and gerontological nursing. Common strategies to address these priorities spanned three main areas: visibility, communication, and marketing; leveraging the related activities of partner organizations and other entities; and developing leadership.
