IONL Mid-Year Conference


March 17-18, 2011

Doubletree Hotel Bloomington





Purpose:
This conference will focus on national policy changes that will impact nurse leaders in Illinois. The American Organization of Nurse Executives (AONE) policy agenda and the impact at the state level will begin the dialogue. Followed by an exploration of the newly developed Consensus Model for APRN Regulation and the Framework for the Regulation of Advanced Practice Registered Nurses that is being espoused by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN). NCSBN next national policy agenda focuses on the APRN License Compact. The establishment of the National Alliance for Quality Care (NAQC) is based on the assumption that only with a stronger, more unified nursing policy ”voice” will dramatic and sustainable achievements in quality and safety for the American public be achieved. Learn how Illinois quality data integrates into this national alliance funded by RWJ. And finally, IONL leadership will lead a panel to discuss initiatives IONL might consider supporting or designing which accelerate implementation of the recommendations in the IOM’s Future of Nursing report.

Intended Audience:
Nurses at all levels of management, emerging leaders, risk managers, human resource staff, nurse educators, hospital executives and consultants
