Plenary Session:
Nurses as Healthcare Changemakers:
Stories of Care Transformation
| |
|
9:00 am – 10:45 am
Delta Ballroom A
Every day, nurses identify problems and create solutions for some of the biggest challenges in health care. With invaluable hands-on patient experience, insights, resourcefulness and an innate innovative mindset, nurses are uniquely qualified to reimagine what healthcare can be, and how it can best be delivered.
For more than 125 years, Johnson & Johnson has championed and supported nurses as changemakers – essential to the work of transforming human health. In this empowering storytelling session, hear from nurses and nurse leaders who represent different perspectives on nurses’ pivotal role in healthcare and the enormous potential of the profession to rethink how healthcare is organized and delivered to improve health outcomes for all. Hear from an ER nurse who developed a screening protocol to identify victims of human trafficking, a trauma nurse who created a tech platform to connect medically tailored meals to the dietary needs of patients experiencing food insecurity, and a nurse/chief experience officer for a health system who is building trust and connections in a rural community. Each of these powerful stories demonstrates the scope and impact of nurse influence, and how important they are to shaping patient care and tailoring healthcare to the needs of their communities.
Speakers:
-
Michele Morgan, Senior Manager, Strategic Initiatives, Johnson & Johnson
-
Danielle Bastien, DNP, APRN, FNP-BC, System Director of Advanced Practice Education and Nurse Practitioner, Oncologic Urgent Care, Henry Ford Health
-
Julie Kennedy Oehlert, DNP, RN, Chief Experience Officer, Vidant Health

Kwamane Liddell, JD, MHA, BSN, Founder and CEO, Nutrible
