Saturday Night: Endnote Address & Closing Ceremony
In July 2017, Alexandra Wubbels, BSN, RN, a Critical Care nurse in the Burn Trauma ICU, prevented police from unlawfully obtaining blood from an unconscious patient in her care. She was subsequently arrested for obstructing justice while on duty at the University of Utah Hospital in Salt Lake City. The incident was later made public via the officers’ body cameras. You’ll hear the full story of how a former Olympian who competed in the 1998 and 2002 Winter Olympics, put herself in harm’s way to protect and advocate for her patient. Don’t miss this incredible story that will surely Ignite Your Passion as you enter the field of nursing.

Friday Plenary Session Recap
Trending: Healthcare Everywhere
|
|
Friday Plenary Focused on Innovations to Provide Healthcare Everywhere
Moderator Ernest Grant, PhD, RN, NEA-BC, FAAN, President, American Nurses Association, introduced Friday’s Plenary Session—Trending: Healthcare Everywhere. In his introduction, Dr. Grant pointed out that innovations in mobile health, telehealth, remote monitoring, genetic studies, and precision medicine are changing everywhere and impacting how healthcare is delivered.
In the first presentation peering into the future of healthcare, Jodi Holly-Kestel, MSN, RN, Peritoneal Dialysis Nurse III, Nurse Educator, Home Clinical Innovations, DaVita Kidney Care, highlighted her experience providing remote monitoring of dialysis patients. She stressed that, “outpatient care is about education, education, education.” The DaVita Kidney Care program, she said, is a leader in telehealth, which allows patients to enroll in a home monitoring program with customized parameters. Each day, through an iPad tablet and secure video chats, patients are monitored with targeted questions and given specific education. For example, the nurse might observe, “I see your potassium is running high and suggest, ‘Let me send you a list of high potassium foods to avoid’.”
In the second presentation, Deborah Himes, PhD, APRN-Nurse Practitioner, Assistant Professor, Brigham Young University (BYU) College of Nursing, highlighted her research on genomics and precision medicine. She pointed out that there is a strong need for nurses to be educated about genetics to appropriately assess an individual patient’s risk for disease in recommending testing. She pointed out that, while annual mammograms are recommended in woman beginning at age 40 years old, women who have a higher than 20% risk of breast cancer need annual mammograms and breast MRIs beginning at age 25. She noted that her research showed that many primary care providers do not understand how to use genetics to calculate risk; they need to be better prepared to understand the concepts.
In the third presentation, Holly Olson, BS, RN, Senior Procurement Specialist, Cellsure™, noted that more than 80 childhood diseases are being treated with stem cell therapy. She described programs that provide a way for women to store or donate their placentas after delivery to preserve stem cells for later use in treatment.
In the fourth presentation, Jana Kass, MSN, RN, RN-BC, Nurse Informatician, Geisinger, commented that when her healthcare system discovered that fewer than 10% of patients accounted for nearly 50% of the costs, her facility set up a program for teams to make home care visits; this resulted in a significant cost savings.
This plenary session was sponsored by American Nurses Association, Silver Spring, MD.
