Summary
The preceding integrative review examining the changing regulatory landscape has not only identified a wide range of issues, trends, and factors impacting regulation but has also demonstrated there is already a wide range of diverse solutions. The fact that the literature on this topic comes from a variety of (mainly high-income) countries, differing legal and cultural traditions, and operational and strategic perspectives adds to the richness and diversity of the material to be considered but also points towards a lack of material from low-income countries and other regions of the world, such as Asia, Africa, the former Soviet Union, and Central and Latin America. While some of the routine horizon-scanning activity published by nurse regulators is starting to look at international developments, the majority of such work comes from the United States, Canada, and Australia and tends to focus predominantly on local jurisdictional or country-based issues.
