    To recognize the work, leadership, determination, and contributions of nurses who are at the forefront of innovations in population health, the American Academy of Nursing (AAN, 2023) created the Edge Runners program. The AAN annually recognizes nurse-designed models of care that reduce cost, improve care quality, promote health equity, and increase client satisfaction. Table E1 lists population health programs across care areas that were invented by nurses. Please note, the table is a comprehensive listing as of June 2023.
