➢ Nurse-Led Care Models Transforming Healthcare Delivery
9:30 -10:10 AM
The increased demand for more individualized and convenient care is leading to a shift away from traditional provider-driven healthcare models. Aging populations, a higher incidence of chronic diseases, resource constraints, and staffing shortages are driving the move towards value-based healthcare with a greater emphasis on coordinated care. Nursing care delivery models are outlining the assignment of responsibilities, delegation of authority, and management of patient care, focusing strongly on preventive care, care coordination, and patient engagement. Nurse leaders are redesigning workflows and implementing various solutions and innovations to support these efforts, defining what the new care team looks like.
➢ Virtual Nursing Aiding Workforce Challenges
10:15 - 10:55 AM
With workforce shortages affecting all areas from nurses and doctors to IT and support staff, health system leaders are implementing various strategies to improve the workplace, reduce stress and turnover, and attract more talent to the industry. Stabilizing the workforce, especially among nurses, is a primary concern for healthcare executives. Organizations that have adopted virtual nursing programs have experienced increased nurse retention and a reduction in administrative burden. Let’s hear directly from nurse leaders who have successfully implemented these programs.
➢ Documentation Burden Reduction Tools for Nurses
11:00 - 11:40 AM
The U.S. Surgeon General’s Advisory on Building a Thriving Health Workforce: Addressing Health Worker Burnout indicates that nurses spend, on average, about 40% of their shifts performing documentation, which is almost half of every shift. The more time nurses spend on documentation, the less time they have for direct patient care. Meet nurse leaders who are utilizing these innovative tools, and implementing them with success!
This is an opportunity to engage with a diverse group of thought leaders, including:
Respected nurse leaders and advisors
Innovative healthcare practitioners
Renowned educators and thought leaders
Forward-thinking investors supporting healthcare innovations
Nurses @ HLTH is a gathering for those committed to elevating the importance of nursing practices and healthcare outcomes.
