The Forces of Magnetism: Their Impact on RN Autonomy, Independent Judgment and Advocacy Presenter: Hedy Dumpel, RN, JD As the National Chief Director of Nursing Practice and Patient Advocacy for CNA/NNOC, Hedy promotes and protects the vital role that registered nurses play in health care as direct caregivers and patient advocates. Her focus expands to patient advocacy issues in all professional practice settings and arenas, from political and regulatory action to nursing practice and collective bargaining. Hedy has worked at CNA for more than 20 years in a variety of capacities.
During this presentation, attendees will examine how the professional models of care, nursing leadership and management style promoted by magnet status designation schemes impact the registered nurse’s ability to exercise independent professional judgment and advocate in the exclusive interest of the patient. In addition, the impact of the requirement that a hospital is mandated to demonstrate it has a mechanism in place to analyze patient outcome data while incorporating clinical decision-making techniques will be explained.
Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
Describe the effects of magnet designation on the art and science of RN practice and the RN duty and right of patient advocacy;
Recognize the importance of the direct care RNs’ autonomy in exercising independent, professional judgment in the exclusive interest of their patients;
Analyze the impact of evidence-based and decision-support technologies on safe, therapeutic and competent patient care.
The Michigan Nurses Association is accredited as a provider of nursing continuing education by the American Nurses Credentialling Center's Commission on Accreditation.
4.0 contact hours will be awarded to RNs who register at a non-student rate, are in attendance for the entire day, and complete the evaluation.
