|
The University of Southern Indiana School of Nursing and Health Professions will host a Visiting Scholar Presentation at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 13, in Mitchell Auditorium in the Health Professions Center. The program will feature Dr. Joyce A. Verran, Ph.D., R.N., F.A.A.N., professor and director of the Nursing Systems Division at the College of Nursing at University of Arizona in Tucson. Deborah L. Carl, M.Ed., R.D.H., director of the USI Dental Hygiene Program, and Deaconess Hospital’s Lorie Wood-Hessler, R.N., C.N.S., also will be presenting. Verran’s topic will be “Health Care Teams: Intradisciplinary, Interdisciplinary, Multidisciplinary.” She will utilize data from a recent research project on the effect of working conditions on patient outcomes to examine the existence and value of teams in several acute care settings. In the last several years, her work has concentrated on the effect of environmental factors on patient health status outcomes that are applicable to all clients across the continuum of care. Verran has a 20-year record of funding for research in areas of nursing care delivery systems including working environments in acute care, complexity of care in ambulatory settings, and nursing practice models in rural communities. Carl’s presentation will focus on “An Interdisciplinary Approach to Teaching Oral Care to Oncology Patients in an Acute Care Setting.” Wood-Hessler will discuss “Our Experience with Rounding in the ICU.” The Visiting Scholar Presentation is free and open to the public. |
