New Item: VA employee named NCNA Practice Nurse of the Year – Salisbury Post – Salisbury Post

VA employee named NCNA Practice Nurse of the Year

Published 12:00 am Sunday, September 25, 2022

RALEIGH — Nearly 500 registered nurses from across the state gathered in Raleigh on September 15-16 for the North Carolina Nurses Association’s (NCNA) 115th Annual Convention. The event primarily provides an opportunity for professional development, continuing education, and networking, while also serving as a chance to honor nurses and those outside the profession who have made significant impacts on healthcare.

“It seems like every time we get together it gets better. This year, the energy is so high; the engagement, the enthusiasm. It fills my cup meeting new people, seeing them network and connect,” said NCNA President Meka Douthit in a news release. “This is the place where we advocate for education, practice, policy, and so much more. There is something for everybody.”

During the Awards Luncheon, NCNA inducted a past president into its Hall of Fame, named seven award winners, and celebrated the graduation of its 10th Leadership Academy.

Among the honorees is NCNA Practice Nurse of the Year Ladsine Taylor, an NCNA member from Salisbury. As a nurse practitioner at the W.G. Hefner VA Medical Center in Salisbury, Taylor has earned a reputation for being a patient advocate committed to ensuring clinical excellence. In recent years, she has implemented evidence-based programs around fall prevention and gone out of her way to lead interdisciplinary teams designed to help veterans and their families successfully navigate the VA long-term care system. One of the committees she serves on has been credited with implementing policies that assure safe administration of medications. Meanwhile, Taylor has formed life-changing bonds with fellow nurses that she has mentored, demonstrating a positive impact that resonates far beyond the bedside. You can watch her acceptance speech here.

This year’s Convention focused heavily on the state of healthcare in 2022; while society at-large has moved past the coronavirus pandemic, nurses are struggling with serious workforce shortages, burnout, and increasing violence/abuse at the workplace. NCNA’s Statewide Membership Forum, which is designed to help guide the association’s priorities, was dedicated entirely to workplace violence and verbal abuse. Attendees considered the impact these issues have had on their workplace and ways that NCNA can help support a comprehensive culture of safety and zero-tolerance to abuse and violence in healthcare settings.

“Over the past few years, these issues have been getting worse and our members have increasingly been sounding the alarm,” NCNA CEO Tina Gordon said. “Nurses need to be heard and they need to know they’re not alone with their concerns, and I’m glad NCNA was able to support our members by giving them a platform on this incredibly important topic. This conversation gave us critical input we can take to our partners in healthcare systems, at the regulatory level, and in the North Carolina General Assembly to better address these issues.”

Previous Statewide Membership Forums have centered around nurse resiliency and burnout; implicit bias and health inequities; human trafficking; and the opioid epidemic. The Annual Convention typically gives NCNA and its members a chance to prepare for the challenges and opportunities that will shift with the new year, and NCNA feels confident it will continue to gain momentum heading into 2023.

New Item: Preventing Suicides in the Health Care Workforce: The Role of Resilience | AHA – American Hospital Association

The COVID-19 pandemic has taken a heavy toll on our health care teams with many suffering from stress, trauma, burnout and increased behavioral health challenges. When physicians, nurses and health care professionals experience extended periods of stress and burnout, they often feel as though they are letting down their patients, their families, and their colleagues. The impact of these prolonged stressors has amplified the need for support and efforts to improve well-being, destigmatize mental health. Continue listening to learn how the Edward-Elmhurst Health’s employee mental health committee works with members across different disciplines and backgrounds to identify and implement strategies to address employee mental health challenges.

In this podcast, Rebecca Chickey, Senior Director, Behavioral Health Services at the AHA, speaks with Gina Sharp, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Lindsey Harrington, Psy.D., Manager, Psychology and Counseling, of NorthShore – Edward-Elmhurst Health in Illinois.

At Edward-Elmhurst Health (EEH), employee mental health and well-being is interwoven into its recruitment and retention strategies. Earning Platinum recognition from Mental Health America’s Bell Seal for Workplace Mental Health, EEH serves as a best-practice example for how to support employee mental health and promote resiliency. In today’s podcast, Ms. Sharp and Dr. Harrington will describe their work to make employees feel safe, included and supported while building organizational resiliency. Moreover, they will share how they use employee feedback on workplace experiences and concerns to provide cutting-edge and empirically supported education and trainings on mental health and workplace violence.

Oregon State Hospital issued $54K workplace safety fine

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The Oregon State Hospital is facing a $54,000 fine for failing to investigate workplace injuries.

The citation, brought by the state’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration, alleges that from January 2021 to June 2022 the hospital didn’t investigate every time workers suffered an injury or illness that caused them to miss work, Oregon Public Broadcasting reported. The hospital didn’t look at ways to prevent future injuries and illness from occurring, according to the citation.

The state hospital is a secure psychiatric facility that largely houses people charged with crimes, but who need mental health treatment before their cases can proceed. In recent years, it has struggled to admit people within the required seven days of being ordered into their care.

Last year, the hospital documented over 300 cases that resulted in thousands of hours away from work, according to the citation. Oregon OSHA also said about 40% of the injury and illness cases in 2022 were the result of workplace violence and most of those cases weren’t investigated.

The Oregon State Hospital, like other hospitals, has struggled with staffing throughout the pandemic. At times, the National Guard has been called in to help.

A unnamed hospital spokesperson says they plan to pay the fine and are working to address the issues.

New Item: Chair File: Creative Strategies to Strengthen the Health Care Workforce | AHA News – American Hospital Association

When you talk with hospital and health system leaders about their biggest challenges and opportunities, one theme continues to be at the top of their list — workforce. Hospitals and health systems are committed to supporting all health care workers, preparing them for tomorrow and building a pathway for the future.

To support those efforts, the AHA has released a comprehensive guide, “Strengthening the Health Care Workforce.” The guide, which was developed with input from the AHA Board of Trustees’ Task Force on Workforce and many AHA members, contains strategies and resources to assist hospital and health system leaders navigate the ongoing challenges.

The first section of the guide offered strategies and resources to support workforce well-being and behavioral health and prevent workplace violence. The second section focused on data and analytics, as well as technological supports.

The third and final section of the guide was released earlier this month and focuses on strategies and staffing models to support recruitment, retention, diversity, equity and inclusion. We need innovative strategies and solutions to address these issues, and the guide highlights case examples from hospitals and health systems — often working with community partners — that are developing and sustaining a strong health care workforce.

At CommonSpirit Health, the organization I lead, we have just launched an internal nationwide staffing agency and will soon launch a nursing residency program — both to bolster our workforce. The staffing agency will allow nurses to work in 21 states without having to leave the organization, without losing seniority and without being outside the benefit and mission of our health system.

The nursing residency program, a full-year program for graduate nursing students, will enhance their training and education via a curriculum focused on leadership, personal well-being, patient experience and other core areas. The program’s goals include building upon a culture of nursing best practices and increasing workforce satisfaction and retention.

As the AHA guide emphasizes, a talented, qualified, engaged and diverse workforce is at the heart of our nation’s health care system. Understanding the composition and demographics of your organization’s workforce and developing flexible and creative staffing and care delivery models with your clinical teams will be key moving forward.

As part of our multipronged efforts to strengthen the nation’s health care workforce, the AHA will continue to share resources and best practices with the field. We look forward to our continued partnership on this incredibly important work as we strive to create a just society of healthy communities, where all individuals reach their highest potential for health.
