Home healthcare nursing-you love it because of your ability to truly care for your patients on a one-to-one basis. You have autonomy. You need to depend on yourself, your skills, your judgment. In the home setting, you are the only healthcare professional. You are the decision maker. And you thrive on it!
Ironically, the very same autonomy that you love pulls on those strings of needing collegiality and professional support. In much the same way, your home care organization (particularly the free standing VNA) undergoes a similar "ying/yang" experience. Your VNA's strength is its independent, community-based nature-decisions made are local ones. You and your VNA are exceptional, independent, and forward-thinking entities...but...you both need the added growth found through peer networking. VNAA recognizes this; in fact, it's exactly why we exist.
Bring your strengths and your challenges to Miami in April!
Get some sand between your toes while you fill your head with new ideas and solutions shared by other home healthcare leaders of today and tomorrow. VNAA's Annual Meeting is just the place to fill up your "tool box" of home care ideas. This year, VNAA is focusing more than ever on the need for partnering in order to strengthen our industry.
Why Attend This Particular Meeting?
Home care clinical staff are urged to challenge themselves to take home one idea that will effect a positive change in their agency. Maybe it will be a new private pay program that will fit perfectly in your community. Perhaps it will be a technical solution that will answer the need that has been keeping you from optimally caring for your patients in today's PPS environment.
Start Preparing Yourself!
Indulge in information that will shape the future of home care. The Baby Boomer generation is going to need your expertise, as they become your patients in the years to come. You need to be ready and willing to take over the reins.
Workshops are geared to provide participants with solutions and practice patterns that ensure success in all aspects of operations. Presentations address issues such as: Quality Indicators/OASIS, practice models focused on top home care diagnoses, hospice and palliative care programs, nursing shortage, financial management, leadership skills, and much more!
Don't miss this opportunity to meet old and new colleagues in this real oasis of learning and sharing in the sun...Make that the warm retreat of learning and sharing in the sun.
Meet me in Miami!
