One of the policies is in regard to improving utilization of RNs which is interesting because if RNs spent less time being secretaries between physicians and transporters - there would be more time for patients which I can fully agree with! #NUR4108#W13#LD
Dr. Cambell, how was the CMS allowed to mandate a vaccine such as the COVID-19 vaccine even though it infringes on an individual's right to choose to receive it or not? #NUR4108LC#M4W12#LD
With the CMS Vaccine Mandate, technology can be used to track employees' vaccination status. It makes it easy for the employees to upload their proof of vaccination or apply for an exemption. #NUR4108#W11#LD
ANA's priority action item of the Nurse Overtime an Patient Safety Act could have an impact on future practice b/c RNs are not exempt from mandatory OT. We already have RN shortages. Since this is a bill - it would go to congressman Darren Soto.#NUR4108#W9#LD
Education is a key social determinant of health. RNs can advocate for improving this determinant by promoting education programs and resources, & advocating for policies that support access to quality education. This advocacy can happen at all levels. #NUR4108#W8#LD
As a manager in support of the 30 min admit to bed policy, I would have an additional 1 to 2 more staff to specifically transport patients from the ER to the unit. #NUR4108#M3W7#LD
The key stakeholders involved in the COVID-19 vaccination policy at my facility are the workforce in this facility due to our facility being covered by CMS. #NUR4108#W6#LD
#HB111#SB424 both grant autonomy for APRNs outside of specialty areas which is what the healthcare community needs due to shortages of doctors in the
general medicine field #NUR4108#W5#LD
The #PatientSafetyAct required the filing of a report re: effective strategies for reducing medical errors & increase patient safety. This positively affects nursing practice b/c nurses have the ability to be part of conversations & solutions which they face daily. #nur4108#W3
Dr. Ellen Averett is on the board of directors for AUPHA and teaches in both in graduate programs about Research Inquiry to Support Evidence-Based Practice. #NUR4108#W2
The Healthcare Policy: COVID 19 Vaccinations-Workforce Members in CMS Covered Locations interests me because this could make a difference in the number of nurses employed by a facility. #NUR4108#W1
