Institute for Health and Socio-Economic Policy

The Institute for Health and Socio-Economic Policy (IHSP) is a non-profit research and educational organization that serves as the policy and research arm of National Nurses United. The institute specializes in the analysis of healthcare delivery systems, hospital financial performance, and the socio-economic factors affecting public health. IHSP is well-known for its advocacy and data-driven reports supporting a single-payer healthcare system and mandated nurse-to-patient staffing ratios. Its research often highlights the impact of corporate healthcare practices on patient safety and community access to care. By providing empirical evidence to labor unions and policymakers, IHSP plays a significant role in shaping legislative discussions around healthcare reform in the United States.
