On November 3 the Nebraska Action Coalition hosted its Collaborative Annual Leadership conference, “Better Together: Nurses Engaging in Interprofessional Team Collaboration and Leadership.”  The conference objectives included:

1.  Integrate nursing and the interprofessional team roles to improve population health outcomes.
