Register Now for the 7th National DNP Conference, October 8, 9 & 10, 2014 at the Nashville Airport Marriott
(PRWEB) March 08, 2014
In 2008 Berwick, Nolan and Wittington articulated the foundations of the triple aim in Health Affairs, a journal that addresses the intersection of health, health care and policy. The premise of the triple aim is to improve the experience of care, improve health of populations, and reduce per capita costs of health care. These gentlemen go on to point out that preconditions of this triple aim includes engaging identified populations and a commitment to enrollment of for all members. Also, there must be an organization (an “integrator) that accepts responsibility for all three aims for that population.
Advanced Practice Nurses with a practice doctorate degree may not be considered the organization that is described above, but the aims of the degree parallel and model the triple aim. DNP professional nurses address populations, health, care and indeed cost.
Please join us at the Seventh National Doctors of Nursing Practice Conference, taking place October 8, 9 and 10, 2014 at the Marriott Airport, Nashville, TN. The theme of the triple aim will be demonstrated through 21 breakout session podium presentations and about 150 poster presentations, along with keynote speakers that validate how the DNP prepared professional is impacting health care delivery and outcomes.
The Doctors of Nursing Practice, Inc. organization has supported the professional growth and enhancement of those interested in the DNP degree. Target groups include DNP graduates, students and faculty. All stakeholders in the enhancement of health care services to improve outcomes are welcomed to be a part of this process.
