Presentation Info:

Presentation Date | February 24, 2022
Program Description: Information overload describes the excess of information available to a person aiming to complete a task
or make a decision; resulting in a poor decision or no decision being made. This often happens in the fast-paced world of home care operations. Leaders are inundated

first step to successful outcomes. Developing a business intelligence dashboard that contains the Metrics that Matter in the new world of Value Based Purchasing is the
next and most critical step. Metrics should be easy to understand and lead operators to implement corrective action concurrently. Thus, turning a possible negative
outcome into a positive one. Participants will walk away with an understanding of root cause analysis and multi contributing factors affecting metrics so that they can
apply rapid corrective action measures. This presentation is a must for those wishing to streamline their operations and achieve VBP financial success.

Reporting of Perceived Bias
Bias, as defined by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation (ANCC COA/LSNA) is the “tendency or inclination to cause partiality, favoritism, or influence.”
Commercial bias may occur when a CNE activity promotes one or more product(s) (drugs, devices, services, software, hardware, etc.). This definition is not all inclusive and participants may use
their own interpretation in deciding if a presentation is biased. The ANCC COA is interested in the opinions and perceptions of participants at approved CNE activities, especially in the presence
of actual or perceived bias in continuing education. Therefore, ANCC invites participants to access their “ANCC Accreditation Feedback Line” to report any noted bias or conflict of interest in the
education activity. The toll free number is 1(866) 262-9730.

is unique because we provide care not culture. Competency in the culture of people can broaden our perspective and improve the level of care currently provided.
It can feel exhausting and overwhelming unless you can embrace a changing culture. Providing care in a climate that embraces client culture can change the dynamics of the healthcare industry.
The presentation is designed to help healthcare leaders develop knowledge, skills, and attitude to perform in a culturally sensitive society.
The presenter discusses six core competencies, namely:
Inclusive care;
Exploring cultural differences;
Identify Competency triggers;
Understanding Biases;
Growth through awareness;
