Clinically, your patient is ready for discharge. Have you considered how nonclinical factors/social determinants, will impact their health after discharge? Multidisciplinary care coordination is crucial in providing holistic care #JHSONPolicy22 @DrTomori https://t.co/apiFOQUARA

@DrTomori @AAN_Nursing RNs are excellent candidates for care coordination roles. Per @ANANursingWorld’s position statement, RNs need to be recognized as leaders in care coordination, appropriately compensated, and involved in the design of care coordination measures. https://t.co/cZdtulWLzf

@missapilch @DrTomori @JHUNursing @SafiyyahOkoye Excellent point @missapilch! This article by Roland (2018) shows that use of social media can decrease knowledge gaps and dismantle traditional healthcare hierarchies to create a more open health policy discussion. https://t.co/rsrBIkysn5 #JHSONPolicy22

A4: Talk about policy at your next unit meeting! Look up local elected officials, learn about their key issues and constituent population. Have colleagues sign up for Action Alerts & discuss! Both done here: https://t.co/e1A07vDyhg Unified voices are heard voices! #JHSONPolicy22
