Why do 75% of all change efforts fail? Largely because people feel left out of the process and lack the skills, knowledge and motivation to adapt to the organization’s new systems, processes and procedures. Can you imagine what your organization would be like if everyone could lead and master change? Healthcare organizations that equip their people to SHED faster and quicker will be the ones that survive and thrive. This interactive keynote session is packed with practical strategies for immediate implementation! This presentation will describe the state of EBP across the U.S. and key strategies for advancing and sustaining evidence-based care. Implications of findings from a recent national study on EBP with chief nurses also will be highlighted. Matt and Liz Logelin were high school sweethearts. After years of long-distance dating, the pair finally settled together in Los Angeles, and they had it all: a perfect marriage, a gorgeous new home, and a baby girl on the way. Liz’s pregnancy was rocky, but they welcomed Madeline, beautiful and healthy, into the world on March 24, 2008. Just 27 hours later, Liz suffered a pulmonary embolism and died instantly, without ever holding the daughter whose arrival she had so eagerly awaited. Though confronted with devastating grief and the responsibilities of a new and single father, Matt did not surrender to devastation; he chose to keep moving forward—to make a life for Maddy. 8 HONN Conve o n • J u n e 1 3–1 3 –1 7, 2 01 5 AW HON N Co nve n t i on Matt Logelin 2015 AWHONN Convention June 13–17 Happy Crap: Unleash Your Positivity Power!

Watson, MD, PhD Michael C. Lu, MD, MS, MPH This session will focus on cardiovascular health in women across the lifespan. Highlights will include discussion of cardiovascular vulnerabilities in women at all ages, the impact of lifestyle interventions and the role of pharmacotherapies in treatment of cardiovascular disease. Approximately 4 million women give birth annually in the United States. An estimated 52,000 will experience severe complications, including 500 and 600 maternal deaths, of which half have been identified as preventable. Also troubling are the significant racial and ethnic disparities in maternal mortality which have persisted for more than 60 years. During this session Dr. Lu will review current initiatives that address these very alarming and costly trends in maternal morbidity and mortality. Improved systems of maternity care, public awareness and education related to the familial and societal burdens of maternal morbidity and mortality, and use of clinical guidelines and protocols for obstetric emergencies are part of the maternal health initiatives that are intended to improve the health, safety and well-being of mothers in the United States.

Cross, AD, RN THE AMERICAN NURSE is a heartwarming film that explores some of the biggest issues facing America— aging, war, poverty, prisons—through the work and lives of nurses. It is an examination of real people that will change how we think about nurses and how we wrestle with the challenges of healing America. THE AMERICAN NURSE is an important contribution to America’s ongoing conversation about what it means to care. The film follows the paths of five nurses in various practice specialties including Jason Short as he drives up a rugged creek to reach a home-bound cancer patient in Appalachia. Tonia Faust, who runs a prison hospice program where inmates serving life sentences care for their fellow inmates as they’re dying. Naomi Cross, as she coaches an ovarian cancer survivor through the Caesarean delivery of her son. Sister Stephen, a nun who runs a nursing home filled with goats, sheep, llamas and chickens, where the entire nursing staff comes together to sing for a dying resident. And Brian McMillion, an Army veteran and former medic, rehabilitating wounded soldiers returning from war.

Now it’s time to bring the signature royal galas, deck parties, evening receptions and midnight mixers to AWHONN and the Long Beach Convention Center. The President’s Party is THE celebratory highlight of the AWHONN Convention. Whether you want to showcase sparkling jewelry and evening attire or break out your cruise wear, you will find a perfect fit at the Gala on the Sea party. So set sail for a night of light hors d’oeuvres and drinks, live music, dancing and massive moments of fun in distinctively different party-within-a-party rooms. The Royal Ball Despite the lyrics of the recent popular song that laments “we’ll never be royals,” everyone has the blue-blooded lineage tonight. Set in the largest of venues, The Royal Ball celebrates the heyday of the Queen Mary, when regal gowns and formal wear were set against the backdrop of sophisticated décor and ambiance. This royal gala setting will take you back to a time when ocean travel was indeed luxurious and featured high-end live music, exotic cocktails, festive dancing and timeless style. Cabin Fever Need somewhere to go to really party the night away? Cabin Fever is the intimate but lively club-like setting for the partygoer who prefers the spirited sounds of a dynamic DJ. At Cabin Fever, you’re at the center of the action. 20 The Ocean View Need to enjoy a bit of the Long Beach ocean breeze? The Ocean View gives you the exclusive, outdoor-only experience. With networking tables, comfy seating and seaside-inspired cocktails, The Ocean View will be the sought-after place to cool off, chill and enjoy the night. The Captain’s Reception At times, we may need a break from the energetic music and dancing. Set in an open-space area, just outside The Royal Ball, The Captain’s Reception is the ideal venue to reconnect with colleagues, meet and mingle and recharge while enjoying refreshing beverages in a relaxed, stress-free environment.

Over the past decade, the city has invested over $1 billion into its downtown waterfront, transforming it into one of the most dynamic seaside destinations in the country. Rent a bike and make like one of the locals while taking in the sights. Shop and dine in beach-chic Belmont Shore, or get ferried around in your own gondola in Naples. If nothing else, you can always hit the hot, sandy beach the city is named for—that never gets old. Long Beach by day is an experience unto itself, but as the dazzling LED light installations start to glow over Ocean Boulevard, the city takes on a whole other character. Fortunately, the best in Long Beach’s nightlife is never more than a few steps or a short bus ride away from the convention center—in fact there are more than 120 restaurants within just an eight-block radius! Take in stylish nightclubs, live music and artisanal bars that line the city’s downtown, up and down Pine Avenue, the Promenade, Broadway and all points in between. photo credit for images on pages 22-23: Long Beach Convention & Visitor’s Bu reau 22 Conve o n • J u n e 1 3–1 3 –1 7, 2 01 5 AW HON N Co nve n t i on Register il 13 save! t h and Register befo re befo Apr ilre13Apr t h and save! www.awho nnco www.awho nnco nvent ionvent n.o rg ion.org 23 23 2015 AWHONN Convention June 13–17 Hotel Information $$$$ $S$PE$ $ $ CIA $ $C$O$ $ L NV$ EN ION $ $ $RA$TE$ST$ $ $ $ $ $$ $ $ $ $ $$ $ Spec ia $199 l room ra te is per n ig single /doub ht for a le be d. 2015 AWHONN Convention A D VA N C E R E G I S T R AT I O N D E A D L I N E : A P R I L 1 3 , 2 0 1 5 CONCURRENT SESSIONS FIRST NAME (AS IT WILL APPEAR ON BADGE) LAST NAME awhonnconvention.org Phone: 562-491-1234 (For planning purposes only; DOES NOT guarantee a seat.) 3:30 – 4:45 p.m. – Sunday Nursing Excellence Sessions (NE1 – 4)......................NE______ TITLE/POSITION 10:15 – 11:45 a.m. – Monday Specialty Sessions/Papers (A1 – 6)..............................
