Keynote Address I
The Power to Change ANYTHING!!
Influencer: The Power to Change Anything

Emily Moss, MD, MBA, Senior Consultant and Certified Master Trainer, VitalSmarts™ — Salon 1A, 1B

Whether you are a CEO, a teacher, a parent, or merely a person who wants to make a difference, you probably wish you had more influence with the people in your life. The most important capacity you can hold is the capacity to influence behavior. In this fast-paced and inspiring presentation based on the New York Times bestseller, Influencer: The Power to Change Anything , you will learn how to influence others to create rapid and sustainable change. Dr. Moss will share a model of what it takes to help ourselves and others alter their behavior based on two decades of studying how influencers solved some of the world’s most profound problems. Once you tap into the power of influence, you can begin to solve the problems you care about most—from the simplest to the most persistent, resistant, and profound challenges you can imagine.

Objectives:

1. Identify a handful of high-leverage behaviors that lead to rapid and profound change.
2. Describe strategies for changing both thoughts and actions.
3. Discuss six sources of influence to make change inevitable.

Keynote III
From Confusion to Fusion: Using NDNQI Data

Nancy Dunton, PhD, Research Associate Professor, School of Nursing, University of Kansas — Salon 1A, 1B

Transforming exchanges, like jazz, require an exchange of valid and reliable information that can foster appropriate responses and change. In this session, you will learn how a decade of nursing-sensitive data collected from participating hospitals across the United States and stored in the National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators (NDNQI) ® is fostering such change at the unit level. In this presentation, Dr. Dunton will share how the NDNQI ® initiative is transforming the practice of nurses at over 1,300 hospitals, and what nursing educators need to know about what we are learning about improving practice. Read more about NDNQI at http://www.nursingquality.org

Link to NDNQI

Objectives

1. Identify five current or proposed nurse — sensitive indicators.
2. Describe findings from three studies that are transforming education and practice.
3. Discuss how information from the NDNQI ® can engage the nursing workforce to improve outcomes.
