Thematic Areas
Globally, nursing practice is the cornerstone of compassionate healthcare delivery and continues to evolve to meet the demands of a dynamic world. In this stream, we are looking to showcase innovations in nursing practice including new models of care, emerging and transformative roles in nursing, cutting-edge technologies and digital tools, and integrated, equitable, value-based health care (VBHC) that are showing promising signs and impact towards addressing global health challenges.
Advancing Nursing Practice and the Future of Healthcare
By bridging theoretical knowledge with practical application, we are building a future where education empowers nursing students to innovate, lead, and advocate for health equity worldwide. In this stream, we are looking to showcase creative ways of nursing discipline specific and interprofessional learning, leveraging digital tools (artificial intelligence, wearables, metaverse, virtual reality), faculty development, and other innovative strategies on how we prepare nurses and nursing students in the future to thrive in complex healthcare environments.
Reshaping and Transforming Nursing Education
Nurse leaders are transformation agents that inspire change, champion diversity, and lead with integrity, shaping a sustainable and equitable healthcare system for all. In this stream, we are looking to showcase innovations in entrepreneurship (e.g. start-ups, new business models) and intrapreneurship (e.g. innovation capacity building, creative funding models) that create opportunities for investment in innovations and professional growth for the next generation of innovative nurse leaders.
