Wolters Kluwer Focuses on Standardizing Care to Improve Outcomes at the 2018 ANCC Magnet Conference
October 24, 2018
Chief Nurse Ann Dabrow Woods presents on October 24, 2018
PHILADELPHIA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#ANCCMagCon—Wolters
Kluwer, Health announced today that the Chief Nurse of Health
Learning, Research and Practice, Anne Dabrow Woods, will explore the
critical role nurses play in addressing the global challenge of care
variability and how it impacts patient outcomes at the 2018
ANCC National Magnet Conference. The thought leadership
educational vendor session, “Improving Healthcare Outcomes—The Business
of Caring for People,” outlines three effective ways healthcare
practitioners can access information to put clinical evidence into
practice. The presentation takes place on October 24, 2018, at 1 p.m.
When care variation exists in hospitals and healthcare systems,
institutions face added challenges to meet reimbursable quality measures
and provide optimal patient outcomes. Drawing from a recently authored
white paper, Using
the Best Available Evidence for the Business of Healthcare,
Woods will discuss key factors that affect clinical care variation while
demonstrating the need for standardized, coordinated care across the
U.S. healthcare industry.
Woods will also outline specific, proven steps, including implementation
of advanced clinical decision support, that healthcare organizations can
take to decrease variability in decision-making at the point of care.
For instance, a recent Rockburn
Institute study outlined in the white paper how use of nursing
decision support tools at the bedside dramatically improved hospital
Value-Based Purchasing performance scores.
“Healthcare systems may vary from country to country, but their overall
goals are the same—to provide the highest quality, most cost-effective
evidence-based care to improve patient outcomes,” said Woods, DNP, RN,
CRNP, ANP-BC, AGACNP-BC, FAAN. “Healthcare is the business of caring for
people, and Wolters Kluwer is committed to equipping nurses with readily
accessible tools and the best evidence. We owe it to our patients to
provide the highest standards of care quality to optimize their
experience.”
Sponsored by the American
Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), the Magnet Conference is the
largest nursing conference in the United States, offering more than 70
concurrent sessions in addition to daily general sessions. Including
pre-conference events, attendees can earn 46.75 continued nursing
education (CNE) credits. The event takes place October 24-26 at the
