Elevate your organization's culture with evidence-based strategies! The Vanderbilt Health Center for Patient and Professional Advocacy (CPPA) presents "Promoting Professionalism: Addressing Behaviors that Undermine a Culture of Safety." Drawing from 25 years of research, this two-day course provides tools to effectively address lapses in professionalism. This is crucial given the impact on care quality, finances, wellness, and team performance. The course is case-based and highly interactive. In a small cohort, you will work together to address these challenging cases that contain some unexpected twists. Below are some highlights noted by the attendees after the most recent CPPA course: “Connecting respect and redemption and humility with professionalism and safety and a practical way of implementing it in a real-world setting.” “The case studies made the concepts tangible and the practice sessions were a good way of introducing the skills.” “The facilitation was expertly and passionately delivered. It was very interactive and kept me interested the entire time!” Click the link to learn more and register: https://bit.ly/3Yehk9b
A new study by Siru Liu, PhD, Adam Wright, PhD, and colleagues explores using large language models to help patients craft more effective messages to their health care providers through patient portals. In a blinded test reported in the Journal of the AMIA (American Medical Informatics Association), the team found that their custom-trained model, #CLAIR, produced follow-up questions with similar clarity and conciseness, and higher utility, than actual follow-up questions written by members of the care team.

At Vanderbilt University Medical Center, the compassionate care that we provide to patients wouldn’t be possible without the dedication of our incredible nurses and nursing leaders. After more than 45 years of service, we are honoring Marilyn Dubree, MSN, RN, Executive Chief Nursing Officer, as she retires. Marilyn has devoted her life’s work to promoting excellence in nursing practice at VUMC and beyond. Her influence has made a priceless contribution to the practice of nursing – a legacy that is truly transformational. To honor Marilyn and the impact of her leadership over the years, VUMC has activated the Marilyn Dubree Chief Nursing Officer Directorship, the first of its kind to be dedicated to nursing leadership.
