The World Congress Leadership Summit for Senior Healthcare and Nurse Executives will convene senior level hospital, health system and provider executives to debate the most crucial issues facing Chief Nursing Officers today. The conference program will feature CEO, COO, CNO and CMO executives who will share the challenges of developing and implementing strategic plans that effectively address the confluence of powerful forces reflected in the chronic nursing shortage, including changing demographics, ever-decreasing resources, increased demands on the healthcare system and professionals, a declining social value on nursing as a career, and changes in career opportunities.
