Friday, September 25th 7:00-7:30 Registration 7:30-7:45 Welcome 7:45-8:45 “Ebola Outbreak: Leadership Challenges and Opportunities”

Sheila Davis DNP, RN, ANP-BC, FAAN- CNO & Chief of Ebola Response at Partners in Health The Ebola outbreak in West Africa impacted health care delivery globally. The emergency effort mounted by Partners In Health (PIH) was unprecedented and challenged every aspect of the organization. Leadership in this effort required an innovative approach that addressed the safety of health care workers in West Africa as well as U.S. clinicians who responded to the urgent need for assistance. The difficulties of providing life-saving care in very low resource settings during a time of chaos and urgency were compounded by the response of the US health system and resulting complexities.

8:45-9:45 “Self-Care the CREATION Healthy Way” Kathy Perno RN, MBA, CLC- Director, Medical Mission Integration, Adventist Health System Nurses by their very nature are compassionate and can fall into the trap of being caregivers for everyone but themselves. Overcommitted nurses become vulnerable to caregiver fatigue by neglecting their own health in mind, body and spirit. A focus on Self-Care the CREATION Healthy Way will offer practical ideas for incorporating small changes into the busy life of a caregiver to bring a greater sense of control, balance, and wellbeing.

Report for the Year:‐2015  

Committee: Continuum of Care  

The Continuum of Care committee of IONL will serve as a conveyor for networking, dialogue and supportive programming for leaders across the continuum.  

Committee Members: Sandra Berger, Joanne Carlin, Jacqueline Conrad, Pamela Dunley, Marti Edwards, Carol Emery, Pamela Euberg, Kathleen Ferket, Julia Knight, Cheri McEssy, Jacqueline Medland, Pam Nikiel, Catherine Potter, Julianna Sellett, Susan Wickey  

Goals and Accomplishments:   Assemble committee of nurse leaders representing practice areas which cross the 

continuum.  Build collaboration and serve as a conveyor for leaders to network across the continuum 

Communicate the IONL value proposition to nurse leaders across the continuum 

Recruit new IONL members across the continuum 

Offer programing pertinent to leaders across the continuum  

 Summary:  This is a new and exciting committee for 2015!  Membership and engagement continues to grow throughout the year. The COC committee held two conference calls and one in person networking event throughout 2015.  We have representatives from across the state involved with ACO’s, education, home care, skilled nursing facilities, private sector assisted living, and consulting.     

The May networking event was attended by seven members. A very engaged group discussed future opportunities, including educational needs to prepare students for practice along the continuum, healthcare system plans for expanding the continuum of care, improving communication along the continuum, and the need for breaking down silos between care settings.  We are excited the annual conference will feature a new innovative program featuring 5 care continuum speakers describing issues impactful to all leaders.  IONL is well positioned to serve leaders across the continuum.  

Respectfully submitted, Kathleen Ferket, MSN, APN‐BC, Chair of Continuum of Care Committee Vice President, AMITA Care Continuum

COMMITTEE DESCRIPTION  Audit Committee: The Audit Committee is responsible for appointing and supervising external auditors, serving as a liaison between management, the board of directors and the independent auditor and supervising the internal financial controls. Findings should be reported to the executive committee, board of directors and region, and be made a part of the permanent IONL record.

Bylaws Committee: Reviews bylaws and receives proposals for any needed changes; doing the research and drafting so that their proposals will be available well in advance of the annual members’ business meeting. Continuum of Care Committee: The Continuum of Care Committee of IONL will serve as a conveyor for networking, dialogue and supportive programming for leaders across the continuum. Member Engagement Committee: President. Organizes the campaign to attract new members and retain those we have. Therefore, it is necessary to put in place a twelve-month program of membership development and to place similar importance on retaining the maximum number of existing members. Nominations Committee: Chaired by Past-president. During the summer begins the work of identifying future region presidents, officers and determines level of interest and availability. Consults with IONL’s Board of Directors, Bylaws and Policy and Procedures to conduct the annual nomination and elections. Four (4) full members are elected to serve 2-year terms. Nursing Care Committee Collaboration (NC-3): NC-3 is an attempt to bring collaboration, education, and sharing for our state mandated Nursing Care Committees. The purpose is to promote quality of care and improve the delivery of healthcare services through a lively exchange of ideas among nursing care committees throughout the state of Illinois. Policy & Advocacy Committee: Identifies major policy issues to monitor and what steps can be taken to alert and advise members. Oversees IONL’s legislative activities and develops resources for members to help members lobby successfully. Program Committee- The Program Committee is responsible for ensuring that IONL’s mission is reflected in the programming of the mid-year and annual conference. The committee is responsible for identifying the educational needs of the membership and creating quality, value-added programs to enhance the membership’s knowledge, professionalism and business acumen.

WILLINGNESS-TO-SERVE FORM

IONL activities are supported through the voluntary efforts of our membership. The broader the base of member involvement, the more representative IONL can be. The purpose of this form is to provide IONL members with an opportunity to volunteer their time and talent to serve the organization on a committee or task force. IONL provides administrative support to each volunteer group as well as reimbursement for any travel-related expenses. All conference calls are conducted via a toll-free call-in service at no expense to committee members.

The Importance of Joining a Professional Nurses Association

While it's easy to join, the real benefit comes from active involvement. There are many levels of involvement: hosting a meeting, volunteering for a committee or task force, reviewing abstracts for a conference, and conference planning. Let's take a look at some of the advantages of joining a professional nurses organization.

• Education: Science and technology change rapidly-and you need to keep up with the changes that affect health care. Like state licensing boards, many specialty certification boards require you to take continuing education (CE) courses to stay up-to-date in your practice. Some associations even offer CE activities to members at reduced prices.

• Annual Conventions: As a member of a professional organization, you'll get notices announcing major conventions that you may be able to attend at a discount rate. Making professional contacts is a big draw at these conventions, where you'll meet other nurses in your specialty.

• Networking: As a member of a professional association, you'll have plenty of networking opportunities besides connecting

with other health care professionals at national, state, or local conventions. For example, you will probably have access to online chats or forums at your associations' Web site. Not only can you network with your peers and other professionals, but you can also hear how others are handling some of the same issues you face.

• Safeguarding Your Profession: You are part of a unified voice. Being aware and empowered to move your profession forward, to limit barriers to practice, and decrease the impact of uninformed legislators and other parties. To fully embrace your profession.

• Certification: Many professional organizations offer certification. Becoming certified demonstrates your commitment to

excellence in your practice. • Targeted Products and Resources: When you join a professional organization, you may get discounts to obtain online CE,

newsletters, certification review materials, and much more. Some nursing organizations offer members discounts on auto, life, and professional liability insurance and feature special credit card offers. Many nursing organizations offer members an official journal that may contain peer-reviewed, clinical articles and research relevant to the specialty.

• Career Advancement: Participating in an association is the first step towards advancing your career. Employers often look for participation in professional organizations.

• Career Assistance: When you're searching for a new job, look to your association's career center for openings, advice, and opportunities. In fact, keep an eye on that information periodically, whether you're job searching or not, to stay in touch with the latest trends in your specialty. Review job openings for salaries and benefits so you know current earning potentials. Also, networking assists in word of mouth job openings.

• Web Sites: Practically all nursing associations have Web sites you can explore. Typically, they offer general information

about the association that anyone can access, as well as member-only areas with restricted access. The members-only section generally contains a wealth of resources.

What is NC-3?

In support of Illinois’ Staffing by Patient Acuity Law, IONL has created the following platform. The Nursing Care Committee Consortium (NC-3) is an attempt to bring some collaboration, education, and sharing for our state mandated Nursing Care Committees. The purpose is to promote the quality of care and improve the delivery of healthcare services through a lively exchange of ideas among nursing care committees throughout the State of Illinois. You do not have to be an IONL member to participate; all hospitals are welcome!

This is about us sharing our best practices, our struggles, and our needs as Illinois nurses and meeting the intent of our state law.

Jennifer Grenier MSN, RN-BC Chair, NC-3
