About The Commission
Our Mission
The Commission for Nurse Reimbursement (CNR) was founded in 2023 to address a fundamental gap in healthcare payment: nursing care is essential to outcomes, yet rarely reimbursed directly.
CNR works to define and quantify the economic value of nursing, build the evidence and data infrastructure needed for payment reform, and advance policy solutions that modernize how care is financed. By aligning reimbursement with the realities of care delivery, CNR is helping strengthen healthcare sustainability and the nursing workforce.
Who We Are
The Commission is a diverse coalition of passionate individuals dedicated to making a difference in healthcare:
- Nursing leaders: Experienced nurses who understand the challenges the profession faces and are committed to driving positive change.
- Healthcare Executives: Leaders in the healthcare industry who recognize the vital role nurses play in delivering quality care.
- Policy experts: Seasoned professionals with deep knowledge of healthcare policy and legislation.
- Economic advisors: Experts who can analyze the economic impact of nursing reimbursement models and advocate for sustainable solutions.
Our Policy Framework
CNR is committed to working collaboratively with legislators, policymakers, and healthcare stakeholders across the political spectrum. Nursing reimbursement is a bipartisan issue grounded in economics, access, and care sustainability, and meaningful reform requires evidence-based solutions that resonate across policy lines.
With nurses embedded in every healthcare setting and congressional district, CNR brings informed, frontline insight to policy discussions—ensuring reimbursement reform reflects the realities of care delivery and supports high-quality, sustainable patient care.
