"I am absolutely thrilled about this year’s Research Symposium," said the Director of the Institute for Nursing Research and Quality Management at ANA Enterprise, Marcela Cámpoli, PhD, MHA, BA, ASQ CQM/OE. "As part of our ongoing efforts to promote and enhance the understanding of the value of nurses, we are introducing timely topics that resonate not only with the nursing community but are also relevant to health care consumers and patients. AI, virtual nursing and telehealth are at the top of everyone’s mind right now. The Research Symposium brings together top researchers and nurse leaders within the research community to collaborate on how to advance and evolve nursing practice to improve patient care delivery."
The Research Symposium serves as a major platform for networking and collaborative innovation within nursing research by gathering like-minded intellectuals across the country and around the world.
