#N660rn M6: I am following Catherine Alicia Georges through AARP. She is President-elect of AARP and helping to transform the healthcare system with her background in policy development and commitment to improving the health in disadvantaged and minority communities.

#N660rn M5: As the largest sector in healthcare outnumbering physicians by 4 times, nurses can impact and drive innovation now and in the fututre.

#N660rn M3:Care coordination is an essential component of population health in the elderly with chronic health conditions. Innovative care models such as #Elderplace understand the importance of care coordination, provide quality healthcare and see improved pt. outcomes.

[Providence Oregon @ProvHealth]

Today we celebrate 25 years of Providence #Elderplace, a care model that offers health, housing, & care coordination for older adults.

#N660rn M2: Professional networking not only builds relationships within your industry but allows for the sharing of information, opportunities, and nurses can follow healthcare trends via social networking sites.

[Ligia Andersen @ligia_andersen]

#N660rn M2: The health care leader I am following is Lisa Vance through Providence Oregon, new Oregon chief executive in 2018. She promotes innovation in healthcare creating higher quality and lower cost for patients.

#N545rn @pcjefa M7: I plan to continue to promote policy to improve access to healthcare, which is fundamental to health. My policymaker said it best "you have to come to the table". Nurses as part of the largest group providing care to patients are vital to influencing policy.

[Ligia Andersen @ligia_andersen]

#N545rn @pcjefa M6: FFS does not promote quality in healthcare but volume in services. The program I work for attempts to focus on performance measures with 30-day readmission reduction and safety in transitions when pts discharge home or move between different levels of care.

[Ligia Andersen @ligia_andersen]

#N545rn @pcjefa M4: In 2010 when the ACA was enacted 50 million people were without health insurance in the US. In a CDC survey done in 2017 the gap had closed to 28.9 million people under the age of sixty-four. The question is can we ever bring this number to zero?

[Ligia Andersen @ligia_andersen]

#N545rn @pcjefa M2: The healthcare problem I have chosen is options to the Affordable Care Act pertaining to health care coverage. ACA legislation increased access to insurance coverage however gaps in coverage continue to exist making this a continued controversial issue.

[Ligia Andersen @ligia_andersen]

#N545rn @pcjefa M1: I am following Oregon Nurses Association @OregonNurses, the largest professional association in Oregon advocating for nurses and healthcare.

#N545rn @pcjefa M1: My name is Ligia and I am an RN Care Manager @ProvHealth. I love the outdoors, reading, bingeing on Netflix and activities with my two very energetic kids. I hope to learn more about the nurse role in policy analysis, development , and implementation.
