PREPARING
PROFESSIONALS TODAY FOR A CHALLENGING TOMORROW
Much of what is occurring in health care is having a
dramatic and direct impact on the professional’s role and
function. Each professional is concerned that their future
and opportunities are affected by changes that are underway
in health care today. The challenge is to be able to have a
broader vision of the impact of those changes and to make
decisions regarding what those changes mean for each
individual. The choices that are available are growing
everyday. The challenge is to be able to know which choices
to make and how to create a tighter fit between the skills
that a professional has and the demand for them in a
changing system.

PREPARING
TODAY FOR TOMORROW:
NURSING AND HEALTH CARE TRANSFORMATION
The profession is feeling the tremendous impact of
continuing transformation in health care. The questions that
relate is what is happening in health care and in what way
will it advance the profession and make changes that are
meaningful and sustainable? How does the profession make
changes in its own frame of reference and how does each
practitioner begin to adjust and change practice in a way
that has value and meaning for the individual as well as the
profession? There is a new paradigm, a new framework for
health care that is completely altering our understanding of
services provided and the way they are provided. The nurse
must be able to know today the kinds of shifts and
adjustments in both practice and profession that will be
necessary to thrive tomorrow.

INNOVATION AND CREATIVITY:
LIVING IN A TRANSFORMED HEALTH SYSTEM
The health system is transforming before our very eyes. The
challenge is, what is it becoming? How does what it becomes
affect what we do individually and collectively as providers
in the health care system? As we move from fixed talents to
highly mobile skills sets to a decentralized and
technologically driven health care system, what must we do
to be able to succeed and to influence the effective
delivery of patient care services? The content of this
program focuses on the development of innovative and
creative approaches to responding to the changes in health
care and learning how to live in a transformed, paradigm
shifted health care milieu.

CHAOS AND
COMPLEXITY:
THE CHANGING WORK PLACE: NEW RULES FOR LEADERSHIP
The health care system is in motion toward a different
delivery model. The system is requiring a major shift in the
way in which we provide service and lead the health care
system. Newer rules, deeper understanding of quantum
mechanics and systems applications, newer knowledge about
leadership and the process of providing leadership are
creating a different framework for understanding,
application and implementation of health care services and
leadership in the changing work place. This program focuses
specifically on the changes in the work place, the shifting
requirements for leadership and the new interdisciplinary
framework for organizing and leading health care systems. |
A NEW
SCRIPT FOR HEALTH CARE:
BUILDING HEALTHY COMMUNITIES
While the health care system changes, what is the long-term
impact of those changes on the services that are provided to
communities across the nation? Health care is experiencing a
much more substantial change than most people even realize.
Because of that, the long term implications are imbedded in
the movement away from provider driven health care to
population based health care. Health care is changing its
relationship with the consumer in fundamental ways. As it
changes its locus-of-control and function, the question is
how does it position itself to better serve the community
and to be a more integral part of the community’s own
health? This program focuses on the creation of that fit and
the interface between healthy health care systems and
building healthier communities.

STRATEGIES FOR CREATIVE WORK PLACE CHANGE
This program focuses on two components in the current health
care system that will be necessary to move us through the
chaos. Currently, chaos is the appropriate context for all
change in health care. However, in order to thread our way
through the chaos, its implications must be better
understood and more consistently applied in the delivery of
health care services. Professional staff and leaders must
understand how to not only manage chaos and complexity, but
also harness its circumstances and conditions to better
facilitate the journey through the changes in health care
and to model “thrival” strategies in the emerging health
care system. Managing the chaos, working through the current
trials and struggles of the present stages of change,
reviewing and understanding the characteristics and
components of the change and finally providing complexity
based leadership will be critical to an effective journey
through this time of transformation.

A GLMPSE
OVER THE HORIZON:
21st CENTURY HEALTH CARE
This session focuses on the unfolding characteristics of a
transforming health system. Emphasized is the move away from
independent, non-aligned health services toward a more
linked health system. Much effort is spent outlining the
impact it has on the provision of care and the altered
framework for the delivery of health services. Newer issues
such as changing economics, politics, technology and social
conditions along with process shifts such as demand
management, early engagement health service and the changing
integrated service continuum in the context of whole systems
thinking will be explored. The reconfiguration of service
and the work of the professions as well as the changing
content of practice will be outlined in detail. Mechanisms
for accepting the challenges in these changes and people’s
ability to adapt will form the context for this
presentation. Application to the individual and the
workplace will be emphasized.

Into the
Future of Healthcare:
Impact On Clinical Services
In 21st Century healthcare, the provider is driven by the
Age Change to look at the provision of services in a
different way. The focus today is toward health, outcomes,
early engagement services, new technology and economics.
Every caregiver must now act with the knowledge of the value
equation and their role in contributing to it. This means
seeing health service and clinical practice in a new light.
Skill changes, mobility, and flexible service arrangements
all conspire to call the practitioner into new roles and
relationships in health service. The move toward more
consumer orientation and to customer service designs
re-frames service delivery for every provider. These and a
host of related issues are addressed in this fast paced
program with a focus of preparedness for creating a broader
healthier community of caregivers and a better framework for
service delivery.

Changing
Economics In Healthcare:
Learning How to Cope In the New Age
The change in finance and economics in health care is no
accident. The drive to assure a more cost-effective system
is essential to the ability of the system to thrive in the
21st Century. This means that everyone in health care must
live a new script for value creating and wise
decision-making. Reconfiguring the system and clinical
services is essential to providing better service. The
infrastructure of care must also adapt and change. Shared
accountability models and point-of-service decision-making
are all part of the new environment for health care. Every
person who is a part of health care must participate in
creating newer models of doing the business of health care.
Newer clinical pathways and population based service
structures are all a part of re-defining health services and
creating a need for new economic models and financial and
service configurations.

NEW RULES
FOR FIRST-LINE MANAGEMENT: LEADING IN A NEW AGE
This session will specifically focus on the transformation
of the first-line leader's role with a new set of leadership
expectations. The focus will reflect the introduction of
health care transformation realities confronting unit or
service leadership in health care. Implications will be
discussed for these organizations with regard to shifting
social, economic and technical forces as well as the
application of the manager’s role in a decentralized
environment. The speaker will move from the general to the
specific, talking primarily about contextual changes having
an impact on the activities of transforming health services
rather than those activities themselves. Discussion will
stay centered on the forces reflecting the kinds of changes
managers can expect in a continuously transforming health
care environment. |
Preparing
Professionals for a New World of Clinical Excellence
PROGRAM OUTLINE: This session will specifically focus on the
transformation of the clinical provider's role within an
effective shared governance system. The focus will reflect
the introduction of health care transformation realities
confronting the clinical, professional and support staff in
health care within a Magnet excellence frame. Implications
are included for the provider with regard to applying the 14
forces of excellence to broadening shared governance
structures to support a decentralized environment and
including all disciplines in the journey. The facilitator
will move from the general to the specific, talking
primarily about contextual changes having an impact on
making shared governance more effective within the framework
for excellence. Discussion will stay centered on the forces
reflecting the kinds of changes specific to the
organizational culture leaders can expect in their role in
an integrated health care environment. The program is
dialogue-based and will reflect the application of
principles within the conditions and circumstances of the
individual health system or organization. |
