In this Year of the Nurse, the Miami University Nursing + Technology Summit brings healthcare executives, stakeholders, investors, solution providers, and innovators together to discuss the critical role of Nurses in patient care and patient and family engagement, including their role in developing an utilizing digital health innovations.
Today, nursing care data, beyond basic compliance data, is seldom stored electronically, despite studies demonstrating that including nursing problems improves the accuracy of costing healthcare and predicting outcomes. This means that electronic healthcare documentation contains little data about the decisions nurses make, such as decisions about nursing problems, independent intervention actions, and the resulting outcomes, nursing data will not be used in healthcare planning and priority selections. Therefore, nursing’s role in healthcare will remain invisible, and nursing’s potential contribution will not be considered in healthcare policy.
The Summit explores Digital Health barriers and challenges: identifies differences in the context of nursing outcomes; addresses the impact of the EMR system analyzes the variation in quality measures; and discusses implementation challenges. This briefing will also provide the foundation for future discussions with the broader caregiver community including executives in hospitals, healthcare systems and other key stakeholder groups to explore and advance shared objectives.
This event was created by IMS 440 in partnership with John Gardner, Mark Richey, and Jennifer Dauer.
