Whats Going on in Your Emergency Department, and How You Can Finally Fix It
1.25 contact hours Lisa A. Wolf, PhD, MS, RN, CEN Problems with clinical decision making can be the result of deficits in individual nurses knowledge base or critical application skills. It can also be a result of a hostile environment, poor nurse-physician communication or poor teamwork skills. Regardless of cause, poor decision making leads to poor patient outcomes. Discover a framework that will allow managers and educators to assess the underlying causes of poor decision making and target remediation efforts appropriately to promote safe practice and safe care.

What do they really say about medication reconciliation, medical screening exams, protected information, restraint documentation, billing and documentation requirements, nutritional screening, ambulance restocking, clinical protocols, collection of financial information and more? In addition to addressing these specific issues, strategies for dispelling other myths and misinformation will be discussed.

Rhonda M. Morgan, DNP, MSN, RN, CEN, CNRN, CCNS, APN Emergency department leaders often struggle in how to leverage resources and effect change to align with the organizational strategy. Like pilots need an instrument panel, the balanced scorecard serves as both monitor and benchmark for emergency department leaders. This session discusses the theoretical basis of the balanced scorecard as a business model, outlines the essential elements of a balanced scorecard as they pertain to emergency department operation and reveals the scorecard as a valuable tool for emergency department leaders.

You Want Owners, Not Renters Tactical Ways to Engage Your Sta and Medical Sta
1.25 contact hours Bonnie Carl, MBA, RN Jay A. Kaplan, MD, FACEP To change or improve anything, we must focus on both processes and people, on both systems and behaviors. Create great systems without the buy-in of your staff, and they will fall into disarray. Have great people but systems that frustrate them, and they will leave. Either way your patients will suffer. Great work environments are only created when all parties are involved in the process. This course will focus on how to engage your entire staff to be winners, not whiners.

Education
Nurses are continually encouraged to return to school to finish or advance their education. The PhD is a research degree that can benefit the nurse in both practice and academia. However, matching the needs of the nurse personally, professionally and logistically can be a challenge. This program will review different types of doctoral programs delivered via a number of modalities and discuss the pros and cons for each type. Identification of fit between the goals of the nurse and the degree/modality sought will also be discussed.

In 2008, the University of New Mexico Hospital, an academic level 1 trauma center, started a process to train nurses and technicians to use ultrasound to assist in starting peripheral IVs. This session will discuss the development and maintenance of an ultrasound-guided IV program in the emergency department. We will discuss the process from concept to completion.
There are so many ways to communicateface-to-face, paper, computer, phone, etc. Every generation seems to have its preferences, and leaders need to know how best to communicate with their multi-generational staff.

AND Would You Like Fries With That? Customer Service Lessons Learned From the Food Service Industry
Jack Rodgers, BSN, RN, NREMT-P
Prof Dev
The pediatric emergency department is subject to volatile increases in volume. Due to H1N1 in 2010, the Childrens Medical Center emergency department treated a record 830 children in one day. Although H1N1 was a known anticipated threat, in January 2011, there were high surge days, which included 620 children. In order to meet the needs of these increases, several processes had to be enacted to respond to the demand of unanticipated surges. Changes in personnel, space reallocation and interdepartmental cooperation were critical to mobilize resources in a short amount of time to remain in a state of readiness.
With bed space dwindling and wait times soaring, emergency departments everywhere fight to improve satisfaction scores while treating patients in a timely manner. The folks in the food service industry fight throughput and service issues just like we do. Our methods may be different but our mission is the sameget em in, meet their needs and get em out, while keeping them happy in the process. Learn how one department enlisted the help of a local restaurant pioneer to study its processes and used suggestions to improve its customer service scores.
Broadly accepted assumptions have always been the basis of disaster planning. This presentation will illustrate what many of these assumptions are and what the reality has been proven to be. This insight will be gained through the use of research and retrospective review of real disaster events.

Every 11 minutes a health care provider is injured in an emergency setting across this country. To address this issue, Virginia utilized resources from ENAs workplace violence study and from states that were successful in passing bills protecting health care providers in the emergency setting. Learn how grassroots efforts from nurses all across this state were able to have their voices finally heard.
This discussion will address the importance of understanding the phenomenon of workplace violence, methods to mitigate its occurrence in hospital settings and the importance of changing workplace cultures that may unknowingly perpetuate violence in the workplace. This discussion dovetails with the presentation of ENAs Workplace Violence Toolkit to address workplace violence and helps validate the importance of a need for such a tool.

Understanding and Recognizing Workplace Substance Abuse

Tips for Planning Your Trip for ENA Leadership Conference 2012
Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday in English), is a carnival celebration well-known throughout the world. The New Orleans Carnival season, with roots in preparing for the start of the Christian season of Lent, starts after Twelfth Night on Epiphany (January 6). It is a season of parades, balls (some of them masquerade balls) and king cake parties. If you would like to experience Mardi Gras prior to the start of ENAs conference, a very limited inventory of guest rooms is available at the ENA contracted hotels at the group rates on Sunday, February 19 and Monday, February 20 and rooms reserved will require a nonrefundable deposit. ENA will attempt to contract additional rooms on these days if the demand increases, however, additional rooms would be subject to higher hotel rates. If you want to experience Mardi Gras, it is best to first check with the ENA housing bureau prior to securing airline reservations. For those arriving on Tuesday, February 21 (Fat Tuesday and the culmination of Mardi Gras), plan to arrive prior to 10 a.m. and anytime after 6 p.m. Mardi Gras festivities will occur throughout the day with a huge amount of foot traffic, yet a very festive atmosphere. Tuesday is the day of parades, parties and family gatherings. Numerous formal parades are scheduled for this day with street closures from 10 a.m. 6 p.m. The parades will end Tuesday evening. There will be a Mardi Gras atmosphere until midnight Tuesday, February 21. On Wednesday morning all streets and businesses are reopened and the city resumes its normal business activities.
