ANA Quality and Innovation Conference Recap
Follow and join the conversation with #ANAQICON and #ANAHackathon.
The American Nurses Association recently reported on their 2018 Quality and Innovation Conference which took place in Orlando, Florida that hosted nearly 1,000 nurses and other healthcare professionals. Participants gathered to learn about and share successful strategies and real-world innovations around quality, safety and staffing that they can bring back to their own facilities. In her opening remarks, American Nurses Association President Pamela F. Cipriano, PhD, RN, NEA-BC, FAAN asked, “Are you ready to unleash your ‘inner innovator?” and pointed to the evolving landscape in health care, such as Apple’s entrance into the EHR game with Apple Health and CVS’s purchase of insurer Aetna. Check out some of the action with our Twitter Round-up.
