Pediatric Critical Care Colloquium 2013

Last week's Pediatric Critical Care Colloquium, in Washington, DC, was an incredible opportunity to hear outstanding presentations on topics such as Palliative Care, Ethical Considerations around “Do Everything”, Wynne Morris, MD,  Bringing BMT to the PICU by Cheryl Reggio, RN and Amy Kokkinos, RN, and Leading Change-Science Supporting the Future of Nursing Practice, Martha Curley, RN, PhD, FAAN,  and a focus on quality and safety discussing Unplanned Extubations: The Most Harmful of Preventable Harm?, Darren Klugman, MD.  One of the highlights was a visionary perspective on Leading in Uncertain Times: The Power of Teams in Transforming Care, by Kathleen Chavanu Gorman, MSN, RN  EVP, Patient Care Services & COO Children's National Medical Center.

Melnic Consulting Group enjoyed the opportunity to collaborate with some of the nation's most experienced and influential pediatric critical care providers. Thank you to David Stockwell, MD, John Berger, MD, Krista Cato, RN and all of Children’s National for their commitment of time and resources to the successful conference.

If you were unable to attend PCCC, we're sorry we missed you.  The good news is, you can access the innovative presentations here. Consider joining us next year at Children’s Hospital Orange County! 

Sunday's panel discussion on "Multidisciplinary Teams in the ICU: building, learning and preparing for what is ahead," received tremendous feedback.  Dr. Joshua Koch's presentation on building an advanced practice team in the ICU was a particularly hot topic.  Dr. Koch passionately articulated that new, strategic, team focused-collaborations will drive "Multidisciplinary Teamwork" oriented solutions to the physician shortage ahead, and Advanced Practice Providers will be at the core of the new "Hybrid Model of Care." View the Presentation

Are you considering adding Nurse Practitioners in the ICU but still have questions such as;
How do we find NPs?  What's the relationship between fellows and NPs? 
And how do we integrate NPs in the ICU?  We can help!

Children’s National Medical Center - APRN Conference

Reference: childrensnational.org

Children’s National Medical Center’s First Annual Children’s National APRN Conference: Care of the Medically Fragile Child, held on January 26th, was a huge success!  As a leader and Director of Advanced Practice, Gretchen Brandon, along with the APRN Planning Committee, did a wonderful job organizing this event.  The morning was kicked off by an incredible presentation by Chief Operating Office, Kathy Chavanu Gorman.  Kathy presented a high level, reality based perspective on healthcare with great visuals to illustrate the depth of the issues. Then, with a thoughtful and strategic approach, she presented the opportunities for advanced practice nurses to provide solutions to those issues.  With a focus on high quality, lower cost care for patients, nurse practitioners and physician assistants are the advanced practice providers who are a formidable force in the solutions to healthcare. 

This event brought together a unique mix of RNs and APRNs from one of the nation’s leading children’s healthcare and research institutions.  The Children’s National APRN Conference was the perfect opportunity to share experiences, foster collaborations, and evaluate care tactics for medically fragile patients. 

Jill Gilliland, President of Melnic Consulting Group said, “we are honored to have been able to collaborate with Children’s National Medical Center on their First Annual APRN Conference.  CNMC plans to continue the conference annually, each winter, and Melnic Consulting Group will gladly participate again in their 2nd Annual APRN Conference.”
