February 2012 - Autonomy, Job Satisfaction and Quality of Care: Barriers and Facilitators of a Role Based Approach to Practice and Magnetism
Speaker: Nancy Loos, MSN, RN, PHN, NE-BC
Director Nursing Operations, Northridge Hospital Medical Center
Autonomous RN decision-making practice is essential to positive outcomes and identifying the structural and process support for such practice was a priority at Northridge Medical Center as they embarked on the journey to Magnet Designation. An investigation into autonomous practice resulted in a correlation between autonomy and RN professional role enactment and empowerment, work satisfaction and evidence-based practice and quality of care. Join us for this event, as Nancy Loos, Director of Nursing Operations shares Northridge Hospital Medical Center's research into "Autonomy within the Context of the Essentials of Magnestism" and how professional role clarity became a driving force for structural support of autonomous clinical decision-making and practice excellence.

November 2011 - Role Clarity: Foundation for a Role Based Practice, Staffing Excellence and Workload
Speaker: Maria W. O'Rourke, RN, DNSc, FAAN, FAAHC
Role clarity continues to be a powerful framework for clarifying expectations to optimize high quality performance. Through role clarity the full capacity of each role is realized based on appropriate alignment of role authority, responsibility, autonomy, competency and accountability. Practice excellence is a goal to be achieved by all members of the interdisciplinary team, professional, technical and assistive; resulting in practice that ultimately impacts clinical, service, and financial performance. Role clarity serves as an organizing framework that helps nursing tackle high priority issues such as patient safety, ensuring professional role vs.task based orientation, ‘right nurse/right patient’ staffing assignments, interdisciplinary collaboration, nurse and patient satisfaction, appropriate skill mix and workload.
Due to the powerful decision making role of the professional on the interdisciplinary team and the impact of those decisions on outcomes, professional role clarity and role competency move to center stage. Additionally, increased focus on nurse sensitive indicators is placing higher demands on nursing to measure the impact of professional role competency and decision-making by RNs on patient outcomes, making professional role clarity and competency central to any discussion on the appropriate use of the RN role in health care today and in the future.

July 2011 - Professional Role Clarity for Nurse Sensitive Patient Outcomes
Speaker: Andrea Segura-Smith, RN, MSN, NEA BC
Successful management of the patient condition at the point of care depends on clear conceptualization of the professional role and consistent adoption of a decision-making process. This webcast event will highlight the C.A.R.E.S. (Collegiality, Accountability, Respect, Evidence and Safety) peer review program at John Muir Medical Center, Walnut Creek, a Magnet organization that implemented a peer review program for reviewing professional role competence within a systematic process. This foundational system supports professional role clarity within the organization by providing a forum for beside nurses to evaluate care provided and identify areas for improvement, related to nurse sensitive indicators. As a result, the organization has achieved sustained improvements and positive patient outcomes.
