Program Description
Preventable harm that falls within nursing’s scope
of practice is improving but sustaining the gain is
challenging. How do we sustain the improvement
made while continuing to progress? Protecting
the patient from harm is our mission; however,
there is also the financial burden to harm. Nurses
when armed with the right evidence and tools are
ready to lead, design and implement models of care
that help create sustainable clinical & financial
improvement. Resources and systems that support
the nurse’s ability to provide the care are critical
because education alone is not enough to sustain
change. Structures that facilitate shared decision
making and nurse empowerment are key to the
process. This all day session will focus on use of
the evidence to shape our work cultures and
nursing care practice that we want in order to
achieve maximal patient outcomes.
