CNLA Charter Members at Clinical Nurse Leaders Summit January 21-23, 2010 in San Diego, CA
"The 2010 CNL® Summit, The CNL: On the Leading Edge of Healthcare Reform, is presented by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing in partnership with the Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Nursing Services. This year’s theme emphasizes healthcare reform and the CNL role. The conference provides a forum for all healthcare and academic audiences currently implementing or interested in exploring the CNL role. Conference topics include the impact and value of the CNL role on improving patient outcomes, implementing and sustaining the CNL role across diverse systems of care, the CNL role in quality and safety initiatives, innovations in education, healthcare reform and its implications for CNL practice, and the complementary relationship between the CNL and other members of the healthcare team, including nurse managers, APRNs, and physicians. In addition to plenary sessions, concurrent, abstract, and poster presentations allow participants to choose topics of interest in a smaller forum. Special forums for the CNLA membership, CNL faculty, and Nursing/Healthcare Executives are also offered."
