The MHA will host two webinars May 2 and May 30 on virtual care and recruitment models in healthcare that support person and family engagement (PFE). It is through dialogue, relationship building and shared decision-making among patients, caregivers and healthcare staff that the best clinical outcomes and satisfaction is achieved. The MHA Person & Family Engagement Roadmap outlines the research and tools proven to result in optimal outcomes. This research is the foundation for the two upcoming webinars. Both webinars are noon to 1 p.m. and approved for nursing and social work credit (please visit the Accredited Continuing Education Accreditation Statement online for details).
The webinar Virtual Care Models that Improve Engagement and Support Staff on May 2 will be led by leaders from Henry Ford Health and Trinity Health Grand Rapids, who will outline recommendations and support from leadership, nursing and patient experience teams for virtual care and the outcomes demonstrating its value.
The webinar Recruitment Models that Grow a Strong and Patient-Centered Workforce on May 30 will be led by leaders from Covenant Healthcare and McLaren Northern Michigan, who will discuss nursing internships and patient care tech programs that provides valuable clinical experience, fostering a sense of value among participants. The webinar will also share details about a program for high school students that aims to spark interest in careers across clinical and nonclinical healthcare roles.
Registration is free of charge for MHA member organizations. Members may contact Erin Steward with questions about the MHA Person & Family Engagement Roadmap or webinars.
