Creating Whole Health: A Clinical Model for Advanced Practice Integrative Nursing
February 14 2024 • Noon - 1 p.m. Central
The content of the webinar is designed for nurses and health professionals. Participants can earn 1.0 continuing nursing education contact hours.
The principles of integrative nursing can be applied to any setting & all levels of nursing practice. However, a clinical model for application in advanced practice nursing settings can be helpful to guide practical application of these principles, especially as it applies to the management & support of chronic disease in the outpatient clinic setting.
This webinar led by Laura Sandquist DNP, APRN, A-GNP-C, IFMCP will explore an advanced practice nursing clinical model based on the synergy of the philosophies of integrative nursing & functional medicine that focuses on creating whole health. This sustainable model has been successfully implemented within a large insurance-based health system in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota, & the department quadrupled in size from 5 to 20 practitioners since 2019 which demonstrates the high demand for this type of care. Participants will gain insights into how advanced practice integrative nursing models like this one can transform outpatient care in health systems & play a part in addressing social & structural determinants of health.
