SUMMARY:Nursing Knowledge: Big Data Science Conference
DESCRIPTION:Learn about major milestones achieved toward sharable and comparable nursing data and advance a National Action Plan for consistent documentation and use of nursing and interprofessional data for analytics and big data science. There are 10 virtual workgroups which are working toward how to improve the capture and continuing use of nurse-sensitive data using national standards to to achieve the quadruple aim of better health\, better patient experience\, lower costs and improved work life of health care providers. \nKeynote: Longitudinal\, Patient-Focused\, Interdisciplinary Care\nRebecca Freeman\, Ph.D.\, R.N.\, P.M.P.\, of the ONC Chief Nursing Officer of the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology\, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services\nDelivery system reform will change the way health care is provided and paid for in the United States. Reimbursement will be based on patient outcomes across the care continuum; optimal outcomes will be achieved through efficient\, team-based care that is expertly coordinated across care settings. Ideally\, the movement of information from one care environment to the next must occur. Nurses are natural care coordinators and an integral part of any patient’s health optimization\, but nursing documentation in some care settings is not always sharable and comparable with that of the rest of the care team. As care models change\, nursing should plan for an interdisciplinary\, shared terminology that allows them to be well-represented in the data that represent the care of the patient across the continuum. \nMore information about the event.

SUMMARY:Rural Health Journalism Workshop 2017
DESCRIPTION:Free workshop focuses on covering rural America\n\n\n\nAHCJ’s ninth Rural Health Journalism Workshop will bring journalists together with health care and policy experts who focus on the medical challenges of rural areas. \n\n\n\nLeave with a better understanding of what’s happening – or will be happening – in rural regions\, and return to work with dozens of story ideas you can pursue. \n\n\n\nThis special one-day\, no-fee workshop will help you find and cover health stories in rural America. \n\n\n\nThis workshop will be 7:30 a.m.-5 p.m. on June 9 at the Millennium Hotel\, Cincinnati\, with breakfast and lunch provided. Early-bird registration ended June 1\, but you may register onsite by bringing the completed registration form with you. \n\n\n\nHear about county-level data\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe luncheon speaker will be Julie Willems Van Dijk\, the director of County Health Rankings and Roadmaps\, an annual measure of vital health factors revealing a snapshot of how health is influenced by where we live\, learn\, work and play. \n\n\n\nThe rankings measure vital health factors\, including high school graduation rates\, obesity\, smoking\, unemployment\, access to healthy foods\, the quality of air and water\, income inequality\, and teen births. \n\n\n\nTravel assistance\n\n\n\nAlthough the workshop is free to attend and includes two meals\, we understand some journalists may still need assistance to get to Cincinnati. We do have a limited amount of stipend funding to assist with travel for those in need. Send an email to info@healthjournalism.org and tell us where you are coming from and why you need some help. \n\n\n\nSee what past attendees had to say:\n\n\n\n\n“I flew from the East Coast for this workshop and it was worth every minute. It’s invaluable to me as a health reporter to sit in these sessions and learn more about complicated topics without the added burden of turning around and writing a daily news story. I also really enjoyed networking with other health reporters.“\n\n\n\n“The workshop was wonderful. I learned so many interesting things and I enjoyed that the speakers focused in on the “key takeaways.” They mostly stayed away from getting lost in the weeds and gave us some macro-focused information.“\n\n\n\n“Very focused on a particularly challenging area of access to health care.“\n\n\n\n\nSponsors\n\n\n\n\nRobert Wood Johnson Foundation\n\n\n\nThe Commonwealth Fund\n\n\n\nThe Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust\n\n\n\nThe Cincinnati Enquirer
