"Clinical education is a huge need. If you want to educate more nurses, we have to have places to send them to work. Partnering with clinical partners can help a great deal." -Dean Donna Havens (Villanova University) at HealthKey Focus Session, Addressing the Nursing Shortage, held at Independence LIVE, Sept 2024

"I think the largest opportunity for AI and healthcare is going to be on predictive analysis of which way your healthcare is going." - @RobertBrooks (St Christopher's Hospital for Children) at HealthKey Focus Session, Addressing the Nursing Shortage, held at Independence LIVE, Sept 2024 #StChris #AI #Healthcare #RobBrooks #BehindtheScenes #BrianTierney #BrianCommunications

"One of the things that home based healthcare has to its advantage is the power of human relationships in the home. How we create ways to offset the lack of the nursing station, so that relationships can get established in a different way, is something that we think about a lot." -David Baiada (BAYADA Home Health Care) at HealthKey Focus Session, Addressing the Nursing Shortage, held at Independence Live September 2024 ) #BAYADA #DavidBaiada #BehindtheScenes #HealthKeyFocusSession

"Clinicians self selected into the healthcare profession, most likely because they value human connection and helping others. I find that a lot of organizations don't necessarily spend enough time thinking about how to create and prioritize the relationship part of the work that we do and or eliminate the things that get in the way of relationships." - David Baiada on Valuing the Human Connection in Healthcare (HealthKey Focus Session, Independence LIVE, Sept 25th, 2024) #HealthKey #IndependenceLive #BAYADAHomeHealthcare #Nursing #BrianCommunications

"My university believes that all of our students be knowledgeable consumers and users of AI and understand it and understand when it's appropriate, and how to use it in healthcare. I think we're seeing it on a daily basis. Increase in use, decreasing administrative burden, helping with charting, monitoring patients, communication in general. But I do get concerned about overreliance on the technology in AI. It will never replace critical thinking and the ability to make judgments, and that's what I worry about." Dean Donna Havens on Appropriate Use of AI in Healthcare (HealthKey Focus Session, Independence LIVE, Sept 25th, 2024) #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Education #HealthcareEducation #VillanovaUniversity #DeanDonnaHavens

"I think we're on the precipice of where technology has advanced enough for it to be useful in healthcare. Healthcare is so dynamic with so many different moving parts that the the innovations that were good in manufacturing and development were never going to fit into healthcare. But the way that technology has advanced, in my opinion, has gotten to where now it is useful. And so I believe we, as healthcare employers, need to figure out how to remove all of the minutia so that healthcare providers can get back to what they really went into healthcare for." - Robert Brooks on How Technology Can Positively Impact Healthcare (HealthKey Focus Session, Independence LIVE, Sept 25th, 2024)
