Page 10 • Hawaiʻi Nurse May, June, July 2021 Message from your President Happy Nurses Month! Along with celebrating the profession and our 4.2 million RNs, Nurses Month gives us the time to reflect on why we became a nurse. For me, it was the education aspect. Being able to advise patients, family, and friends on their health and wellness is the most rewarding part of my career. Whether it is brief interactions Katie Kemp at the bedside, one-on-one indepth conversations at discharge planning, telephonic triage, in home assessments, or continuous follow up through case management; nurses are the gateway to health education for the public. However, due to the pandemic, it is easy to acknowledge the nurses looking for a role change or perhaps exiting the profession entirely. Hawaiʻi-ANA sought to address this as a means to retain nurses in the profession and also to provide support during challenging times. We began with the formation of a Mentorship Program. By matching mentees and mentors with similar interests and guiding conversations through monthly discussion topics we have created a program that drives in-state nursing connections and professional development experiences. Hawaiʻi-ANA welcomed the first Mentorship Program cohort in May 2021. Additionally, in Celebration of Nurses Week, Hawaiʻi- ANA held a virtual continuing education and networking event on Saturday, Mary 8th. The event was attended by 47 along with multiple employers, schools of nursing and healthcare associations. Over the course of the pandemic, many nurses have felt burnt out or over extended, so much so that leaving the profession as a whole was heavily considered. As a means to shed light on nursing careers beyond acute care to retain nurses in the profession we highlighted two RN roles; The Nurse Navigator and the Population Health RN. Our Care, Our Choice Hawaiʻi presented on The Nurse Navigator role as it relates to the medical aid in dying law. The audience was informed how RNs play a role in end-of-life care, how we can assist patients in the end-of-life decision making discussion, and the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) is becoming a popular term and one often referred to in Dr. Qureshiʻs presentation. Although not something what wasn’t already in nursing and healthcare assessments it is being more heavily emphasized with action steps on an abnormal assessment result. Connecting patients with food, housing, income, transportation, and more is often the starting point to allow patients to begin their health recovery journey. In a recent episode on the ANA See You Now Podcast, “Way More Than a Health Plan” discusses the growing body of evidence and experience supporting our understanding of and investing in the social determinants and drivers of health—the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age. We’re seeing that manifest with a wide range of innovations in every corner of our healthcare delivery system, including innovations in health plans, health insurance, and payment and delivery models.

Unfortunately, the medical aid in dying law amendment bill HB 2451, by allowing qualified Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) to serve as the Attending, Consulting, and/or Mental Health Provider required under the law was dissolved when passed on to four committees. This was a pain staking defeat as the amendment passed the Senate (SB839) with a 21-4 vote. The CE presentation discussed why nurses being involved in legislation matters, and how crucial legislation can be in improving patients assess to care. Dr. Kristine Qureshi, professor at University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, presented on the research article she published with colleagues, Dr. Glauberman, Dr. Bray, and Dr. Loos; in the Hawaiʻi Journal of Health & Social Welfare on “Population Health: Proactive Solutions for Healthy Outcomes.” This CE focused on the emerging role of Population Health RN. As insurer reimbursement moves from fee-for-service to value-based, with a heavy emphasis on quality care, population health RNs will be the champions for meeting the quality metrics. This is an emerging role in the ambulatory arena allowing for RNs to work closely with primary care providers and others with the end goal of improving the population’s health.

The career itself is often thankless but know each day that you arrive to work you leave a lasting impression on your patients and often your colleagues.
