This seminar will help nurse leaders prepare for these changes and understand the crucial role nursing will play in achieving healthcare transformation. Join a select group of your nursing executive colleagues for an intimate look at how information technology can enable healthcare transformation. It’s about planning for your future. It’s about becoming more efficient and providing more effective care. It’s about improving the workplace, achieving greater outcomes with fewer resources and delivering higher quality care.

We’ve built in time for you to interact with the speakers and your colleagues to share insights and experiences throughout the day.
