TWO NEW WORKSHOPS IN 2020
August 18, 2020   |   Nurse as leaders
September 9, 2020   |   Best practices in incident investigations



August 18, 2020 | Nurses as leaders

Nurses are often promoted due to their clinical and organizing skills into leadership positions with little preparation for the role. You accept leadership positions to offer your gifts and talents to the organization, its staff, and those they care for. One of the foundations for success is building an effective team. In this workshop, we will explore what the transition from clinician to leader looks like and focus on best practices to build an extraordinary team.

September 9, 2020 | Best practices in incident investigations

The clinical leader is often the person responsible for investigation of residents; incidents and required self-reporting of potential vulnerable adult issues. Our final webinar will explore best practices in conducting investigations, documenting information and follow-through. We will discuss how to take a look at both the micro- and macro- environments of an incident and build a wholistic picture of what happened so that we can make real quality improvements.
