Sustainable Strategies to Support Resiliency and Professional Well-Being for Healthcare Professionals – 1.5 in person F2F Education Credits

Time: 8:30am-10am
Panelists: Dr. Katie Cole, Dr. Seema Weinstein, Gail Ryder, Diego Perilla
Adverse patient events have been attributed to healthcare staff who have experienced difficulty sleeping, reduced job satisfaction, impaired behavior and anxiety. These attributes contribute to more serious consequences such as burnout, depression, post-traumatic disorder and suicidal ideation. The suicide rate for physicians is higher than that for any other profession, in part because of the stress of medical school, risk for malpractice, sleep deprivation and challenges with work/life balance. Healthcare leaders often struggle with finding long-term solutions to address an important but personal issue for their staff and organization. During this panel, participants will learn sustainable strategies and approaches that will address well-being and resiliency for healthcare professionals in today’s healthcare environment. Even when leaders recognize this as a problem, they are often presented with confusing information or get-better-quick solutions that bring no lasting change and can sometimes increase cynicism among employees. During this panel, participants will learn the importance of sustaining well-being for healthcare professionals in today’s health care environment.

Talent Management for Bench Strength Development – 1.5 Qualified Education Credits

Time: 10:15am-11:45am
Panelists: Cami Leech Florio, Kyle Barr, David Howard, Charles Hinson.
Talent management and succession planning are important to the successful operation of every organization. Together, they constitute a systematic process for preparing people to meet an organization’s needs for talent over time. They are designed to ensure the continued effective performance of an organization by developing employees at all levels, while paying particular attention to the identification and training of high- potential candidates for managerial or leadership positions. Talent management and succession planning enable an organization to meet its needs for leadership by assessing the competencies required for key positions, nurturing and developing the talents needed to fill those positions, and implementing procedures and protocols for managerial and leadership replacement when it becomes necessary.

Developing an Environment of Civility and Respect in Healthcare Organizations: Resources to Empower Healthcare Leaders to Identify, Intervene, and Prevent Workplace Bullying, Incivility and Disrespect – 1.5 in person F2F Education Credits

Time: 12:30pm-2:00pm
Panelists: Qualenta Kivett, Tom McDougal, Joan M. Veccioli, Vyron Folds
The organizational culture of a healthcare organization plays a critically important role in shaping the work environment for its employees. Organizations with environments of civility and respect recruit the best and brightest people, exude high morale and high job satisfaction by their employees, and demonstrate high performing teamwork. Unfortunately,disrespect and incivility at work is rampant in many organizations, and it’s on the rise. Uncivil behaviors are characteristically rude and discourteous, displaying a lack of regard for others. There is an organizational price to be paid for uncivil encounters among coworkers. Employees that have experienced or witnessed incivility reduce their commitment to the organization and demonstrate a reduction in work effort. While individual factors may play a major role in contributing to incivility and disrespectful cultures, the workplace environment is a powerful force that consciously or unconsciously enables acts of incivility, disrespect and bullying. Emerging evidence and anecdotal reports suggest that the conscientiousness of healthcare leaders in implementing comprehensive, cohesive, and integrated bullying prevention and intervention programs in their organizations is critical to promote environments of respect and enhance the sustainability of cultures of civility. This panel discussion will focus on tools and methods to identify and address incivility, bullying and disrespectful behavior in the workplace environment as well as methods to develop and support a culture of civility and respect in healthcare organizations.

RN & Clinical Staff Retention & Turnover – 1.5 in person F2F Education Credits

Time: 2:15pm-3:45pm
Panelists: Lisa Johnson, Wendi Goodson-Celerin, Charity Carlisle, Gen Guanci
With an aging population, baby boomers retiring, millennials taking over the work force, and reimbursements being more tied to patient satisfaction and administrative duties, it is no surprise that turnover is at an all-time high. It is imperative for hospitals and health care systems to understand the impact of turnover as well as how to increase retention through engagement, professional development and mentorship.

Mindful Leadership: Leading with Heart and Mind for Healthcare Leaders – 1.5 Qualified Education Credits

Time: 4:00pm-5:30pm
Panelists: Mo Kasti, Colleen Walters, Paul Grossman & Victor Weeden

The use of mindful practices like meditation, introspection, and journaling have been shown to contribute to the success of leading organizations. Mindful practices support personal and professional growth by enabling leaders to gain focus, clarity, creativity, and compassion – qualities which allow leaders to face the myriad demands and struggles of everyday work life. Healthcare leaders, in particular, deal with challenges and pressures that are unique to the healthcare climate. Practicing mindfulness can help healthcare executives more effectively deal with these challenges by teaching them how to approach each situation with focus and clarity to make important decisions, how to be creative and innovative in their approach to healthcare leadership, and how to be compassionate with others in times of turmoil.
