CALL FOR PARTICIPATION As we celebrate our 13th year of planning the Neonatal Advanced Practice Nursing Forum, it is important to reflect upon why we do this work. We had a vision to assemble a community of clinicians and scholars who are not afraid to dream big, and to network and strategize to make their big visions a reality. In 2010 our committee has assembled a world-class faculty and a host of hot topics and clinical care controversies. Additionally, the poster sessions typically include over 45 outstanding presentations that are not reflected in the program. We will be hosting the launch of an APN research group that will gather annually at the APN Forum, focused on human milk for premature infants, led by Dr. Paula Meier. Our theme for 2010, Think Globally... Act Locally, reflects this very important vision. Now, more than ever, the world of healthcare is a challenging place. We are being asked to do more with less, and in environments with shifting and uncertain resources. The APN Forum provides a unique educational setting where clinicians and educators can unite to think globally, and share solutions and innovations, as they prepare to act locally in their own units wherever they may be. This is your Forum. Please consider sharing your clinical expertise, in the form of a Case of the Year submission or an abstract describing your original research, patient safety solution, or clinical or educational innovations. For the first time, we are asking international APNs, or those who have done international outreach work, to develop a short video, slide show, or poster to teach us about NICU care around the world, to help stretch our global understanding. For details about how to participate, please see the Call for Participation below. If you have never attended the APN Forum, we trust that 2010 will be your year to represent your unit, region, or country. Please do not hesitate to contact us with questions, comments, and your bright ideas! We look forward to learning with and from you at the 13th Annual Neonatal APN Forum. On behalf of the Neonatal APN Forum 2010 Planning Committee, Madge E. Buus-Frank RNC, MS, ARNP-BC Victoria A. Flanagan RN, MS Conference Objectives The unique and interactive format of this program, coupled with outstanding faculty and state-of-the-science presentations, make this the premiere conference for APNs. Participants will: Examine and debate emerging neonatal therapies, controversies, and the evolving evidence for practice Solve challenging clinical cases in interactive case-based learning sessions Examine current trends impacting APN professional practice Strategize with other APNs to promote excellence in APN practice, education and research NEW -- Call for Video Submissions! In conjunction with our theme, Think Globally... Act Locally, we are calling for submissions of short videos or slide shows, highlighting NICU care around the world. Videos or slide shows should be no longer than 4 minutes in length. The video should tell a story that will teach participants about the infants, providers, families and their culture, physical environment, teamwork, challenges, innovations and/or care processes in your care setting. The goal is to capture something that is special or unique about your setting, how you do your work, and the people who make it all happen. International participants are strongly encouraged to submit. U.S. participants who have done international work are also welcome. Call for Case of the Year Submissions We invite every NNP & CNS practicing in the NICU, both in the U.S. and abroad, to attend the APN Forum and represent their practice. Share your clinical expertise by submitting a challenging clinical case in abstract form. The case should be presented in a mystery format and highlight one or more of the following: An unusual disease process or diagnostic challenge An atypical presentation or outcome of a common disease A transport challenge A patient safety-related case The cases selected for podium presentation will be presented in an interactive session designed to challenge the participants diagnostic and critical thinking skills. The main conference fee is waived for one case presenter. Pre-conference fees, travel, and all other expenses remain the responsibility of the presenter. Cases not chosen for podium presentation will be evaluated for suitability for poster and/or concurrent session presentations. Call for Podium & Poster Presentations Categories include: Original Research (designate as completed or work-in-progress) Innovations in Practice or Education Patient Safety, Quality Improvement or Benchmarking Initiatives Guidelines for Submission Submissions must be congruent with conference objectives and will undergo a blinded, peer-reviewed selection process. Clearly identify the category of submission (Case of the Year, Original Research, Innovations or Patient Safety). Limit abstracts to one page, not including bibliography. Electronic Abstract Guidelines can be found online at www.dhmc.org/goto/ APNForum2010. Submissions that do not follow the guidelines will not be reviewed. Abstracts should be created in 12 point font and should be no longer than 500 words, with up to 2 additional bibliography pages. Original research should be presented in the form of a structured abstract (purpose, subjects, design, methods, results, limitations, and implications). Four abstracts will be selected for both podium and poster presentation on the basis of overall quality, originality and appropriateness to APNs. Podium presentations are 10 minutes with 3 minutes for questions. All presenters are responsible for registration fees, travel, and all other expenses. Abstracts not chosen for podium presentation will be evaluated for suitability for poster presentation.

REGIONAL PROGRAM FOR WOMEN S AND CHILDREN S HEALTH One Medical Center Drive 03756 Neonatal Advanced Practice Nursing Forum Omni Shoreham Hotel WASHINGTON, D.C. JUNE 2-4, 2010 Our Participants Have Told Us This is consistently talked about among NNPs as the best ARNP conference out there. I found that to be true on both coasts (I have lived in SC and WA as an NNP) and true as well for the time I attended myself. I definitely plan to attend this conference again and again! This conference was outstanding & far exceeded my expectations. I have seen a wonderful evolution of quality posters in large part due to quality of this conference. Your group effort is exemplary keep it up! THANK YOU TO OUR SUPPORTERS: Professional education of this quality would not be possible without educational grants. FOR MORE DETAILS, PLEASE GO TO...
