Shaping Policy for a Healthier State

The North Carolina Institute of Medicine, NCIOM, is an independent organization focused on improving the health and well-being of North Carolinians by providing analysis on the health and well-being of North Carolinians, identifying solutions to the health issues facing our state, building consensus toward evidence-based solutions, and informing health policy at the state and local level.

We bring together diverse stakeholders to develop solutions to the complex health problems in North Carolina.

The NCIOM’s task forces and other projects, including the NCMJ, have led to sustained improvements in the health and well-being of North Carolinians.

Current Task Force

Task Force on the Future of the Nursing Workforce

The nursing workforce in North Carolina, already vulnerable prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, is facing unprecedented pressure and a need for coordinated, statewide solutions. Factors such as an aging population, health system transformations, and the tremendous impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the nursing workforce are increasing pressure on this sector. The North Carolina Institute of Medicine is convening state nursing leaders and practitioners across academia, health systems, local public health, and other sectors to develop an actionable vision for enhancing and supporting North Carolina's nursing workforce.

Current Task Force

NC Center on the Workforce for Health

In early 2021, NC AHEC, NCIOM, and the Sheps Center Program on Health Workforce Research and Policy began developing a concept for a statewide center focused on the collaborative and comprehensive development of North Carolina’s workforce for health. As of September 2023, these coordinating organizations have convened five quarterly meetings aimed at collecting and integrating feedback from state health care leaders on the priority goals, activities, and organizational structure of a North Carolina Center on the Workforce for Health.
