Leadership Training
Presented by: Northwell Health
1pm - 5pm
This workshop will cover key topics surrounding leadership in today’s healthcare workforce. When building high performance teams, great leaders are considering the layers that affect group success. Healthcare professionals often excel when managing time, but not necessarily when it comes to managing energy. How are you considering burnout potential in the breakdown of responsibilities on your team? Alternatively, what builds your staff up? How do we factor in different individual motivations when working toward the common goal of serving our patients? In matrix, interdisciplinary teams, we must find strength in both our differences and similarities. As a leader, you want to consider challenges and strategies in the context of implicit bias, always keeping diversity, equity and inclusion at the forefront.
Speakers Dr. Zenobia Brown, Teri Manno, and Judith Heller will engage participants in group discussions and break out conversations about the happenings in their current work environments. Attendees will have the opportunity to workshop practical approaches to team challenges and explore new strategies.
By attending this workshop, you will challenge the assumptions you have about leadership, explore new strategies for management and supervision, and build confidence in your own authority.
Don't Sit On It! The Do's and Don'ts of Diagnosing, Debriding, Dressing and Offloading Pressure Injuries
Presented by: Yasmin Meah, MD, CWSP, Mount Sinai Visiting Doctors Program/ ISMMS
1pm - 5pm
Pressure injuries are among the most expensive conditions to treat in the home. Home-based providers often lack specific training to care for them. In this session, an expert in palliative wound care will engage in a case-based discussion of how to move beyond classifying pressure injuries to grasping and executing multi-faceted preventative and therapeutic approaches. Participants will learn a framework of thinking that can guide decisions about durable medical equipment, dressings, debridement, antibiotics and when to involve other disciplines. They will also learn hands-on techniques to discern and debride nonviable tissue, prepare the wound bed for proper dressing, choose dressings matched to tissue characteristics, and define when and how to prepare the wound bed for negative pressure wound therapy.
