#n660rn M8 @kimumc @kathymb4 The power of twitter or really the power of social media has a huge impact in todays society. As a leader in health care these tools allow instant and mass communication to positively influence an entire population.

#N660rn M6 @kimumc @kathymb4 One leadership quality that I use to help influence others is valuing their input. When people feel like they had a part in the decision or their input mattered when decisions were made, they are more likely to buy in and support

#N660RN M6 @kathymb4 @kimumc I found @Sebelius to follow who was the 21st US secretary of Health and Human services and serves as a strategic consultant on health care

#N660rn M3 @kimumc @kathymb4 In New York there was a study on the implementation of a HIV care coordination program. Significant results for program retention and for pre/post viral suppression. Excellent example of the impact of care coordination.

#N660rn M4 @kimumc @kathymb4 Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) model was originated by the American Academy of Pediatrics. It's design emphasizes team based care which is beneficial for any population in healthcare.

#N660rn M2 @kimumc @kathymb4 I started following @Carrie03110 who was a prior instructor of mine within the program. She is a leader I would like to emulate and I enjoyed learning from her.

#n660rn M2 @kimumc @kathymb4 I think the biggest value of social networking are the opportunities that arise. The old saying of "it's not about what you know, but who you know". I have witnessed this to be true but hopefully most of us have the knowledge too :)

#N545rn M7 As a nurse leader I plan to continue my push for safe nurse-to-patient ratios. I truly believe in order to sustain and build the profession of nursing we need this change. @Prof_JStein

#N545rn M6 In primacy care FFS has a huge impact on primary care providers. FFS is the dominant payment for these providers. This model incentivizes the # of medical services, not quality or care. Quantity over quality does not always produce best patient outcomes @Prof_JStein

#N545rn M4 California is the only state with mandated patient-nurse ratios. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics California employs the most RNs and pays the highest salaries. The ANA states that 14 states are currently addressing law/regs for nurse staffing @Prof_JStein

[samantha hoffman @shoffma9]

#N545rn want to address patient-to-nurse staffing ratios with policy. The only state that currently mandates minimum staffing ratios is California. M2 @Prof_JStein
