Cleveland Clinic Conference to Discuss Critical Topics in Ambulatory Nursing

Cleveland Clinic’s annual Ambulatory Nursing Conference is a dynamic two-day event for nurses, nursing students and other healthcare professionals.

The 2016 Ambulatory Nursing Conference will be held Feb. 26-27 in Cleveland and will feature a variety of sessions and presentations led by local and national healthcare leaders who specialize in all aspects of ambulatory care.

This year’s event will focus on the integration of care coordination and tips for advancing patient care, improving clinical outcomes, and providing optimal care that is tailored to meet the needs of each individual patient.

Registered nurses, nurse administrators, advanced practice nurses, nurse clinicians and other healthcare practitioners and social workers will benefit from topic discussions such as: disease specifics, activating patients in their own care and available resources for patients.

“The dramatic shift occurring today from acute/inpatient to ambulatory care impacts all caregivers; although those in ambulatory care settings will no doubt benefit from this conference. The topics are timely and applicable to all as we strive to eliminate fragmentation and create a truly connected continuum of care,” says Cleveland Clinic Associate Chief Nursing Officer of Ambulatory Care Brenda Mullan, MSN, RN, CDP, NE-BC. “One of the key topics of discussion will be care coordination, which is an essential link that drives care transformation and creates a culture in which the patient is never discharged.”

Event highlights

Local and national experts will lead sessions and presentations on a variety of topics, including:

• Population health
• Transitional care
• Functional medicine
• Neuro/concussion
