The Future of Quality: RNs at the Epicenter
Pam F. Cipriano, PhD, RN, NEA-BC, FAAN—American Nurses
Association, Silver Spring, Maryland
The nation’s 3.4 million registered
nurses have been instrumental in the
gains made in improving the quality
and safety of US health care over
the last decade-and-a-half. Despite
progress, however, recent studies
demonstrate that much work is left to be done—and
nurses have a key role to play. In this presentation,
Dr. Cipriano will highlight how ANA is at the forefront
of improving the quality of health care for all and
the competencies RNs will need to lead the future of
health care quality and patient safety.

In a field where science and
compassion are intertwined, patient care often leaves
little time to reflect on innovation. Tight scheduling,
budgetary constraints, and organizational dynamics
can leave little time for creativity, and health care
workers are often forced to choose tradition over
innovation. Arguing for the power of creative
disruption, in this keynote session Josh Linkner will
inspire participants to let go of these considerations
and traditions, if only briefly, and instead consider
what is possible when they let themselves dream
big about ways to change health care. Participants
will come away from this session with a renewed
appreciation for the value of creative thinking, an
understanding of how to implement creative thinking,
and practical tools for how nursing ideals can be
implemented incrementally at the institutional level.
