Summit 2013: RWJF President and CEO to Discuss Health Care Transformation

We are pleased to share that Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, MD, MBA, president and chief executive officer of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), will join us for the Campaign for Action Summit 2013: Transforming Health Care Through Nursing in Washington, DC next month to offer a keynote perspective. 

Dr. Lavizzo-Mourey is an outspoken champion for the increased role of nurses in a transformed health care delivery system. Under her leadership, RWJF has allocated significant resources to nursing programs, including the landmark Institute of Medicine report The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health and the Campaign for Action.

Linda Wright Moore, a distinguished journalist and RWJF senior communications officer, will interview Dr. Lavizzo-Mourey in a “fireside chat” format. The discussion will explore what it takes to create social change and lasting transformation in health and health care, drawing on Dr. Lavizzo-Mourey’s expertise and insights as a physician, philanthropist, and advocate for a culture of health in America.

In advance of the summit, Dr. Lavizzo-Mourey is inviting Action Coalition members to contribute questions to inform her discussion. Please post your questions below by February 14, 2013.

As a physician, I would be interested in Dr. Lavizzo-Mourey’s ideas related to how Action Coalition states can strategically engage physicians and/or physician groups into constructive discussions about the concept of allowing nurses to practice to the full extent of their education and training with the ultimate goal being that of improving health outcomes for individual states and the nation as a whole.

Good Morning Risa: The IOM report underwritten by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has now been out 2 1/2years. There has clearly been a huge amount of activity generated by this report and its recommendations. In Florida we have an active Action Coalition that is involved in a number of recommendation areas. What actual impact have we seen nationwide since then? What outcomes have been achieved? Are you satisfied with the progress at this point?

Colleen Krepstekies

Thanks for your question Cynthia and Michael!

Kristin Jimison

What are the best strategies for interprofessional collaboration? How can we implement them on mutiple levels?

Cynthia Gustafson

What are effective arguments for promoting quality of patient care when the bottom line for many decision makers is cost? My experience in the hospital board room has been one of bottom line operating costs as the driving force for hard decisions about care provided.

Dr. Lavizzo-Mourey our state action coalition is having great success in engaging non-nursing/healthcare organizations & businesses in joining the coalition - but my concern is: How will we maintain their interest in the Campaign through 2020 and leverage their engagement to assume we reach our 2020 goals? Appreciate any insights you might provide.

Colleen Krepstekies

Another great question. Thanks Alexia!

Stephanie Stewart

What are the most successful strategies for increasing the number of men in nursing and for encouraging ADN nurses to successfully complete a BSN?

Judith Hansen

Dr. Lavizzo-Mourey, from your experience, would you please share a story with us regarding outcomes of the presence of nurses on boards that will help inform our work? Thank you!
