Objectives

Aim of the Conference This nursing conference aims to bring individuals together who

have an interest in different fields of nursing and explore the advances in

nursing practice, reformations in nursing curricula, developments to create

caring leadership and existing realities in nursing research.

Sri Ramachandra Medical College and Research Institute was

established by Sri Ramachandra Educational and Health Trust in the year

1985 as a private not-for-profit self-financing institution and dedicated to

serve the society as a centre of excellence with emphasis on medical

education, research and healthcare. The Trust achieved the task of

establishing this Institution as a "Centre of Excellence" under the

leadership of Late Shri. N. P. V. Ramasamy Udayar who was the Founder and

Managing Trustee of the Trust and also the first Chancellor of the Deemed

University. Shri. V. R. Venkataachalam is currently the Chancellor of the

University and is also the Managing Trustee of the Trust. Over two decades, Sri Ramachandra University has transformed

into a full fledged University with nine constituent colleges/faculties and

have around 100 courses in the health care sciences. The refreshingly green

University campus is spread over 150 acres and houses more than 4000

students with all teaching and training facilities under one roof. The multi

specialty tertiary care hospital with 2280 beds and with largest ICU

facilities provides comprehensive healthcare. The National Assessment and Accreditation Council has

accredited (Cycle-2) Sri Ramachandra University with "A" Grade with a

CGPA of 3.62 on a 4-point scale, the highest to be awarded to a private

medical University in India. The Joint Commission International (JCI) has

accredited the University teaching hospital, the first teaching hospital in

India to obtain such accreditation from JCI. Faculty of Nursing is located in an exclusive four level building

with the entire infrastructure required to learn the full spectrum of nursing

care. The college offers B. Sc. Nursing (Basic), B. Sc. Nursing (Post Basic),

M. Sc. Nursing and Ph.D in Nursing courses. Academic collaboration with

the University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh, USA, University of Washington,

Seattle, USA and University of Sydney, Australia is our strength. Nursing makes a significant contribution to the health

maintenance, health promotion and well-being of individuals, local

communities and populations. The healthcare environment is rapidly

changing, and the forces of healthcare reform may create even more

change. Today's nurses require an expanded skill set that includes

knowledge of science and medical technology to function and manage in a

highly complex patient-care environment. As a critical component of the

healthcare workforce, nursing profession must keep pace with changes in

the healthcare environment to ensure the continued delivery of high

quality, safe and effective patient care. Worldwide, there is a dramatic shortage of nurses. An increase

in the migration of nurses from their home countries to recipient countries

is having a global effect on the healthcare system. This turnover has an

impact on the performance and profitability of healthcare organizations.

Effective management practices are necessary to tackle the issue of nursing

migration and turnover.

Nursing education is experiencing many changes. From the

traditional classroom to web-based clinical instruction, the transition

continues. Accompanying this transition are the challenges that nurse

educators must identify and remedy. Nursing educational processes

continue to experience revision, modification, refinement, and

innovation in response to changes that occur in the broader educational

environment as well as in the healthcare delivery system. Nurses conduct research, use research in practice, and teach

about research. Leadership and innovation are keys to deliver and

implement research based evidences to provide quality nursing care.

Nurses need motivation to innovate and disseminate them. These

innovative practices improve patient experiences, health outcomes and

nursing practice. Dissemination of research findings is paramount to

build nursing body of knowledge. Perfect blend of nursing education, service and research will

help the nurses to promote the quality of nursing care and to update

their knowledge and skills with practice innovations in any health care
