Today I attended the Senate Executive Committe at Legislative Hall, along with nurses and many other caregivers, asking our Senators to vote NO to HB350. This bill would significantly impact the quality care non-profit hospitals in DE provide by requiring them to cut $360M from their budgets. This would negatively start impacting our communities almost immediately. At the end of this session public speakers were to have 90 seconds to share their thoughts on this drastic and devastating bill. Their time was cut to one minute! In that valuable minute the message from several clinical leaders, nurses, physicians and others was clear (and unfortunately extremely consise): - We agree healthcare costs are high. - "Collaborate" with us on reducing costs while not putting hospitals in a position where they are forced to eliminate services to our communities. - Or in a position where hospitals must cut innovative technologies that not only provide state-of-the-art care to patients but also attract top talent providers and nurses. https://lnkd.in/gDrc9Bir https://lnkd.in/gM-7DGZK

Beyond speech-to-text, how can voice technology support healthcare workers? That was the question asked by a leading US-based non-profit hospital system when they approached DFFRNT. Nurses carry a heavy cognitive load in their day-to-day work. They are constantly multitasking and being interrupted, and their active memory is overloaded. So, could there be a way for voice technology to make a difference? Read the case study to learn what a DFFRNT approach uncovered - https://bit.ly/4a7uEzv

questions for council meeting FromCathryn Watters, RN Tomatthew.hayday@nmc-uk.org Reply-Tosupport@nmcwatch.org.uk DateToday 22:35 Message 1 of 10234  <  > Dear Mathew Please put the following questions forward: The statements published by the NMC in response to the Culture Review don’t follow the reflective framework that would be expected of a nurse, midwife or nursing associate if serious concerns had been raised about their practise. To reassure the public and the professionals on the NMC register that there isn’t a high risk of repetition, can David Warren, Helen Herniman, Lesley Maslen and Alice Hilkin all answer before Council today: 1. Why did they fail to implement the recommendations from previous reviews? 2. Why should they be believed that it will be different this time? Also - why was the meeting changed from in person to online - surely with recent events it should have remained in person?
