Care Transitions in the Time of Coronavirus

The intent of this program is to provide an overview of the experience with COVID-19 across the care continuum and how collaboration and communication impacted the ability of nurses at all levels to care for patients during this challenging time.

Each panelist will review their area in the care continuum and will discuss what changes were made in their area to adapt to COVID 19 pandemic challenges, including best practices developed and what they are currently doing in an effort to prepare for the next wave. Discussion will also include what efforts were made to communicate with other facilities throughout the continuum.

Target Audience: Nurse managers, nursing coordinators, assistant nurse managers, staff nurses, chief nursing officers, vice presidents of patient care, assistant vice presidents of nursing, administrative directors, directors of nursing, new ONL NJ mentors and mentees, Nursing Workforce Environment Staffing Council (NWESC) members, university deans, nurse educators, nurse researchers and post-acute leaders, nursing home administrators and assisted living administrators.

Learner Outcome: Upon completion of the program, the learner will list two best practices to adopt in the event of a second wave of the COVID 19 pandemic and transfer these strategies in their area of the care continuum within their organization.

Successful completion of the course is defined as in-person attendance for 95 percent of the webinar learning session and a completed course evaluation.
