Best health policy conference yet!!

I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Make'da Traynum, a dedicated Nursing Policy Aide for the American Nurses Association - California. It was an enlightening conversation about the critical role #nurses play in shaping #health #policies and the significant impact they can make on #public #health and #patient #care. Make'da shared her valuable insights on various crucial topics, including the challenges and opportunities in tackling #fooddeserts in #SouthernCalifornia, the integration of #AIinnursing, and the importance of #nursesinvolvementinlegislativeprocesses. Her dedication to community health and her strategic approach to policy advocacy emphasize how integral nurses are to developing and reforming health policy. This discussion illuminated the issues and highlighted the implications of empowering nurses in #policyadvocacy. Make'da’s journey and her work are inspiring examples of how healthcare professionals can extend their impact from bedside care to broader policy changes. For more detailed insights from our conversation, check out my latest blog post: https://lnkd.in/gKn7tTb3. It's time to acknowledge and rally behind the pivotal role that nurses play in #healthcarepolicy. Let's take action to support their efforts! #Innovation #ANACalifornia #Healthcarepolicy

🌟 Exciting insights from ShiftMed's 2023 State of Nursing Survey! We connected with 900 CNAs, LPNs, and RNs to delve into what matters most to them, ensuring we remain aligned with their needs and aspirations. What did we learn? Top concerns included inadequate compensation, staffing shortages, and burnout.  #ShiftMed #NursingExcellence #HealthcareRevolution 

These are the sorts of reports that make me think that, as well as ensuring that our regional communities have the facilities and abilities to train and reskill people to meet their aspirations and community needs, we need to focus on how we ensure that our communities have the vibrancy to retain or attract back our young people, and are welcoming and attractive to skilled people coming from other places - whether they are from Australian cities, or the wider world. Do we need to think more about, and plan, how many people we need here, rather than wait and see who and how many come? How much more housing do we need? Should it be on the peri-urban fringes, or would Downtown and inner-urban densification provide benefits to revitalise the heart of the city, and be attractive and convenient for staff of our health care and professional services firms. I think this is something that ALL of our Regional Cities and communities should be working on - the current demographic profile is chastening, and gives it an urgency for many.

Exactly! If looking to re-establish stability and nursing/patient outcomes within an organization, the recipe is well articulated in his message below. Magnet4Europe Conference. I would loved to have been there. Talk about a global movement in professional nursing to go viral.

Your nurses are important. Like, really important. And they’re changing professionally, demographically and emotionally. Dive into how you can evolve with them. #WorkflowManagement #Staffing https://dy.si/qPiBz3

With Full Practice Authority legislation now introduced in both the PA House and Senate, let's take a fresh look at the results of a study comparing Pennsylvania to Maryland, which already allows NPs to work to the full extent of their training without red tape. Based on the study comparing PA to MD... 1. Nurse practitioners in Pennsylvania would collectively be able to see almost 1,800 more patients per week by cutting the red tape. 2. Patients in Maryland reported fewer poor mental health days. 3. Full practice authority in Pennsylvania can potentially eliminate half of the state’s health provider shortage areas.
