While nursing has been in the position of responding to profound change over the past decade, COVID-19 has provided a catalyst for much of that change to occur on a faster timetable.
Elsevier Health is launching a series of thought-leader webinars to look at how this is already happening in some hospitals, practices and other care environments, and how it can happen in others based on what has been learned from managing the pandemic.
The series will focus on new roles, practice environments, care models and policy changes that can contribute to a new model of healthcare.
