The TIGER Team would like to acknowledge and thank all Summit participants for playing such a significant role in the TIGER Invitational Summit, held October 30-November 1, 2006, at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS) in Bethesda, Maryland.  More than 70 organizations were represented at the TIGER Invitational Summit. 

The success of the Summit was directly related to the contributions made by all participants in creating a 10-Year Vision and 3-Year Action Plan to prepare nurses for practice in an increasingly automated health care environment.  The vision and plan were derived from a diverse but collaborative team of professionals, and have set the stage to empower nurses to deliver evidence-based care and use clinical practice data to generate new evidence and knowledge, benefiting both education and practice environments.
