Conference Concurrent Session Themes

Proposals

Individuals who wish to participate at Nursing 2.0 are welcome to submit proposals to the Program Committee.  Each proposal must address one of the conference tracks.  Multiple proposals are welcome.

Engaging the Health Care Consumer:

The access to information and social interactions with the health care team and consumers of health care services are changing how nurses interact with the team and their patients and clients.  Papers in this track will highlight innovation in the use of informatics and/or IT systems in areas outside of the usual delivery systems and/or in the community.

Nursing and eHealth:

Implementing and integrating large clinical and EHR systems is a challenging endeavour.  Papers in this track will explore concepts and challenges such as change management, user engagement, process redesign, and systems integration, clinical workflow, human interface etc with a particular focus on collaboration, networking, and the use of Web 2.0 applications.

Evidence Based Practice – Measuring the Value:

Measuring and quantifying the overall value of informatics interventions including the use of social media and networking applications can be difficult.  Papers in this track will highlight methods used to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions.   Areas of evaluation may include, but are not limited to:  networking challenges, health outcomes, patient safety, error reduction, quality,  decision support, productivity, patient and employee satisfaction, and teamwork.

Preparing Nurses Across the Continuum:

From entry to practice through to advanced degrees, education and support are vital for increasing informatics knowledge and capacity in the nursing workforce.   Papers in this track will examine how informatics skills and knowledge are being transferred to nursing students, nurses in practice and beyond. Particular emphasis on the use of social media, e-learning, networking, mentorship, and teaching the new generations is encouraged.
