1 May 2015 Message from the Past President Jan Lemme The past year has seen many changes to the national healthcare system as we know it. Regionally, the situation between UPMC and Highmark has contributed towards hiring freezes, and layoffs in some cases, as we wait to see just how each system will be affected. Nationally, reimbursement has continued to decline. Healthcare associated events (HAE s), such as decubiti, healthcare acquired pneumonia (HCAP), UTI s associated with foley catheters, and central line associated bacteremia (CLAB s), are no longer reimbursed, and can cost a facility millions of dollars every year. Competition between hospitals is at an all-time high as increasingly savvy consumers utilize HCAHPS to help guide their healthcare and hospital choices. Included in this, we are also seeing a significant decrease in the amount of financial support that our healthcare partners are able to provide, as budgets have decreased and the question of conflict of interest have increased. I bring these changes up as a potential portent of things to come. Historically, when hospital budgets are being pared down, nursing education is often one of the first items cut. That means little to no reimbursement for educational endeavors not directly linked to the hospital, things like national conferences. And limited financial support from our vendor partners means increased costs to the chapter to hold educational programs, costs that then must be passed along to our members. This means that nurses must take more of the responsibility for their continuing educational needs. In the complex, ever changing world of healthcare, no one can debate the importance of continuing education. Now, more than ever, the benefits of belonging to AACN, with their unlimited online CE activities, have never been more appreciable. Being active in your local chapter, with access to no to low cost educational offerings, and our many scholarship opportunities for both continuing education and national conferences, is vital. Despite this, we are seeing a decline in both membership and in membership participation. I m not sure why this is, when the benefits of belonging seem to be clear. As nurses, we have a responsibility to our patients to stay current with changes in best practices. We need to hold nurses to the same standards we expect of our physicians, especially since it is the nurse who spends the most time with the patients and that most often detects those small changes in a patient s condition before they can become life-threatening. I don t believe that any of us would want our loved ones to be cared for by anyone that is not on the top of their game. I know I wouldn t. So here is my challenge to you. Take responsibility for your own professional and educational needs. Form a network of like-minded individuals that can assist you in meeting these needs. Hold yourself and your colleagues accountable to a higher standard of care. Be the nurse you would want to have taking care of your loved ones. Because every patient is somebody s loved one. Thanks for a great year. Have a safe, fun-filled summer, and we hope to see you next year! Jan Lemme 1
2 Message from the President Elect Wendy Grbach It is with great honor that I accept the position of President for the year My first opportunity at this position was in 2005 also as President. My first NTI attendance was that year, 3 months shy of Katrina s terrible visit to beautiful New Orleans. I am looking forward to hopefully being able to attend NTI this coming year to observe both the present and the past of that fateful date. Over the years we have seen many changes in the Chapter, some great, some not so. We have gained and lost many close friends and excellent nurses along the way. My largest concern going into this new year involves continual dropping in active participation of TRC chapter members. One large goal remains: increasing our membership at large. Not just bodies with pulses or names in the database, but active members! I welcome each of your suggestions and participation in all of the planning for the new year. We know that times are changing and generations are as well, but we as the TRC board are here to engage, enhance and embrace all our critical care nurses within the region. Planning for the next year begins at the chapter transition meeting June 28th. Interested in helping or offering a voice?? GO FOR IT! We need fresh new ideas and are aimed at providing opportunities that meet your needs Please feel free to contact me at any time and join me in welcoming another year of great education, camaraderie, and networking. Have a happy and safe summer! Treasure s Report ~ Wendy Grbach As we close another year in the TRC chapter, we continue to have declines in membership and attendance at meetings. As of this writing, we have 54 active paid memberships. Our database formerly held a census of over 160 members. We look forward to gaining new members and wish to re-invite those friends who we have missed to rejoin us to enhance our solidity of Region 3. The board will be meeting in June to begin strategic planning, and due to continued operating loss we will be closely evaluating our dues, and educational program structures. While increases in either are not welcomed by anyone, we need to align with other program offerings, as resources continue to falter. Additionally we continue to see registrants who fail to pay their dues for programs, which the chapter ultimately has to fund. As previously noted, no one will be considered registered until funds are received, and drop dead dates will be followed more stringently. This requirement is being assured in fairness to all members who follow the rules. Finally, in closure of the financial year, the annual Chapter Financial Audit will be due in August. Any member who would like to volunteer to review the documents to assist us would be most welcomed. We need 3 non-board members who have been active within the chapter over the year. Please contact Wendy by June 30, if interested. Remember this activity also fulfills options for annual Merit point Awards! 2
