SUMMARY:Crisis Management: Strategies to Effectively Manage a Healthcare Organization
DESCRIPTION:Another joint great event offered by the East\, North and Midwest Texas ACHE chapters. . . .the second of four panels offered this November. \n\n\n\n\nThis panel has been approved for 1.5 ACHE Virtual Face-to-Face credits. \n  \nPreparing for an unplanned or unexpected event\, such as a natural disaster\, pandemic\, civil disturbances\, medical error or labor disputes (e.g.\, union labor) causes physical\, psychological and emotional stresses that can overwhelm employees\, medical staff\, patients and communities. In the event of a crisis\, the quality and efficiency of care delivery may be challenged and typically takes a toll on every part of the organization. Lack of the unknown or uncertainty is also a challenge that healthcare leaders face in the time of crisis. Healthcare leaders need to understand ways to prepare their organization for unforeseen circumstances\, which includes developing a communication plan\, managing organizational resources\, such as medical supplies\, levels of patient care and leveraging local and state resources and funding. \n  \nModerator: Jonathan Sell\nFounder and CEO\nInnovative Solutions Management \nPanelists: \nSerena Bumpus DNP\, RN\, NEA-BC\nChief Executive Officer\nTexas Nurses Association \nDr. William Hooks\, MD\, MBA\nChief of Anesthesiology/Medical Director\, Perioperative & Procedural Services\nTitus Regional Medical Center \nKenneth Hutchenrider\, Jr.\, FACHE\nPresident\nMethodist Richardson Medical Center \n  \nSpeakers’ Bios: \n  \nDr. Serena Bumpus currently serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the Texas Nurses Association where she is responsible for providing oversight of related entities and programs including the Texas Nurses Foundation and the Texas Peer Assistance Program for Nurses and other programs as identified.
