Dear Fellow NLN.ON Members and Conference Attendees,

On behalf of the NLN.ON Executive and the Conference Planning Committee it is our sincere pleasure to welcome you to the 2018 Nursing Leadership Network Annual Conference entitled, “Better Together: Realizing our Collective Potential”.

It is evident from the excellent response to our conference, that this year’s theme was meaningful and timely. As stated by the President of the International Council of Nurses, Annette Kennedy, “nurses can be a true force for change when we work together.” NLN.ON Conference keynote speakers, concurrent session presenters and poster presenters will showcase how nurses lead when working together in areas of transitions in care, patient engagement, use of technology and digital health, quality and patient safety and optimization of health human resources. Many of you will leave the conference with a “take away message” or learn of an innovation in collaboration applicable at the unit, organizational and even system level.

As nursing transforms, we as nursing leaders must work together to respond to the challenges and complexities presented each and every day. We need to lead with confidence and search for creative strategies to foster collaboration.

The NLN.ON conference provides excellent opportunities for networking, sharing and learning. It is our hope you will be able to take time to refocus, unwind, learn and have fun! Let’s continue to be proud of our accomplishments in our nursing profession!

In closing, we would like to thank and acknowledge the Conference Planning Committee members and our partners at First Stage Enterprises for their ongoing commitment, passion and dedication once again delivering an outstanding conference for you!

Warm regards,

Judy Shearer, NLN.ON President Karen Ellis-Scharfenberg, Conference Chair

Tazim Virani, RN, BScN, MScN, PhD, Senior Lead Strategic Initiatives, Nancy Lefebre, RN, BScN, MScN, CHE, EXTRA Fellow, FCCHL, Senior Vice President, Chief Clinical Executive, Saint Elizabeth Health Care, Markham

The H.O.P.E Model of CareTM is based on a philosophy of empowering people. A primary nurse (RN) situated within a small, self-directed team supports comprehensive care planning, coordination and delivery. Results are exciting – decline in use of ED visits and hospital admissions and high levels of patient satisfaction.

A2 Achieving Clinical Standardization for 24 Hospitals in a Regional Clinical Information System Princess

Elizabeth Nemeth, RN, BScN, MN, Associate Vice President, Healthtech, Toronto, Alison MacDonald, RN, BScN, MN

Since eHealth 2.0, a paradigm shift has emerged in Ontario. Many organizations are partnering in the investment of a regionalized Health Information Systems (HIS). However, there still seems to be gaps in adoption of standards and best practices. This presentation is an exemplar of collaboration leveraging best practice and evidence in development of standards resulting in improved care, reporting and interoperability of information.

A3 Supporting Emerging Nursing Leaders: Mentoring Clinical Nurses to North York Build Charge Nurse Education

Designing evidence based staffing models that consider the needs of patients, the experience of nurses and the complexity of the environment is imperative to providing the highest quality of care while enabling positive patient, family and staff experiences.

A rounding tool was developed to guide the 1:1 check-ins initiated with new graduates in an attempt to identify and address issues early and to tailor the onboarding experience for each new graduate hired.

B3 Achieving Successful Implementation and Adoption of eHealth Solutions North York

Rita Wilson, RN, BScN, MN, M Ed., eHealth Program Manager, Registered Nurses` Association of Ontario, Toronto

This presentation highlights key recommendations from a recently published Guideline to enhance the informatics capacity of nursing leaders and others involved in the implementation of an eHealth solution regardless of their role or setting.

Caring is at the core of nursing education and practice. System issues often prevent students and nurses from providing quality compassionate care. Partnerships with formal and informal leaders within academic and healthcare organizations are needed to create environments that enable compassionate quality care for clients, learners and nurses.

A partnership between acute and home care, including patients and professionals, was used to redesign the cardiac surgery patient’s journey.

We will share our experience with partnership and focus how nurse leaders facilitated collaboration.

Michele Bellows, RN, BScN, MN, CHE, VP Patient Care/CNE, Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital, Smiths Falls

Changing the paradigm of care to a patient-centered model represents a shift in organizational culture. Shifting the culture of healthcare organizations to be person- and family-centred is not an easy undertaking and the move to embracing patients and families has to be more than “tokenism” to be valued. How do we encourage , support and sustain this change.

D3 Clinical Standardization: Collaborating and Forming a HIS cluster to North York Advance Mental Health Care Delivery

Sarah Kipping, RN, BSc, MSN, CPMHN(C), Clinical Practice Leader, Professional Practice, Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences, Whitby, Andrea Lucas, RN, BScN, MHN, Director of Professional Practice, Waypoint Centre for Mental Health Care, Penetanguishene

CONCURRENT SESSION F

10:50 – 11:35 F1 Meaningful and Active Patient Engagement - Our Organization's Journey Crown

Claudia Hampel, RN, BN, Patient and Family Engagement Lead, Gwen Barton, Zarah Monfaredi, The Ottawa Hospital, Ottawa

The spectrum of patient engagement ranges from simply sharing of information, to full collaboration and partnership. Changing the paradigm of care to a patient and family centered model requires supportive, strong leadership. For patients to become partners in the healthcare environment, there is a need for a cultural shift within the traditional model. Our presentation will describe the journey to date to patient and family engagement, barriers and facilitators encountered, and lessons learned. We will describe the tools and processes briefly and discuss some early success.

F3 Realizing our Collective Potential: Reconceptualizing the Core Areas of North York Accountability for the Registered Nurse

Sara Lankshear, RN, PhD, Faculty, Health, Wellness and Sciences, Jacqueline Limoges, RN, PhD, Faculty, Health, Wellness and Sciences, Georgian College, Barrie

Changes in legislative, regulatory and educational preparation of the Registered Nurse (RN) and Registered Practical Nurse (RPN)presented opportunities for employers to optimize both the RN and RPN roles. However, many initiatives focused on increasing the RPN role, with little to no concurrent strategy specific to the RN role. The session will propose core areas of responsibility for Registered Nurses to highlight the impact of the Registered Nurse in patient and health system outcomes

Strengthening Intra-professional Nursing Collaboration to meet the Health Systems Challenges of the 21st Century

Public polls tell us that Canadians have higher expectations of health care than any other public service. And the vast majority expect health care professionals, especially doctors, nurses, health researchers and scientists, to exert a strong role in tackling the quadruple aim of better health, better care, and better value through more effective engagement of highly qualified health-care providers. The public has high trust in nurses but also very high expectations: they want attentive, communicative, engaged and individualized care—as well as informed political leadership—from their nurses. Steven Lewis has argued that nursing’s combination of numbers, reputation and reach should translate into power and influence over how health care is financed, organized and delivered. Yet politically, he says, the profession punches below its weight … and the country is the worse for it. In his role as the CEO of the Canadian Nurses Association, Mike is leading implementation of a forward-leaning vision for professional nursing in Canada and the services needed to support that transformation. Today Mike will ask why we in nursing seem so challenged by intra-professional collaboration—and will push all of us as nurse leaders to look forward and strengthen our relationships in the interest of the public and our own professional advancement.
