Reception
California, a bell-weather state rich in ethnic and financial diversity, represents a particularly important environment to monitor, address, and promote the improvement of a health care system that is frequently considered broken, ineffective, and discriminatory relative to resources. The Clinical Nurse Leader role is the newest nursing leadership role to be introduced into practice in 40 years and is designed to bring leadership to the micro-system level of the health care system. Clinical Nurse Leaders are not managers, rather they are expert bedside nurses who provide leadership and problem-solving skills in addressing institutional, unit-based and patient health care outcomes. Clinical Nurse Leaders focus on the delivery system to prevent fragmentation and discontinuous care.
This conference will provide an opportunity for leaders in nursing education and service to come together in dialogue about this new position and to brainstorm about the application of this role in light of future health care trends, initiatives, and issues.
