Melissa Mills RN,BSN, MHA joined us to tell us more about how the Commission for Nurse Reimbursement is working to create more avenues for dedicated reimbursement for RNs.   Did you know that hospitals collect fees for RNs under the same umbrella as EVS and other non medical services?  Is that right?

We dive into the billing architecture as it is now, what can change, and when.  We talk about the players involved and the timelines it's going to take to be successful and Melissa gives detail about where we are headed.

Melissa's background as a nurse leader and content creator has served her well but reaching her extended network to garner more support for a change in the billing structure for Nurses.

We added in more conversations about Nurse Development and Mentoring and we are sure you'll like her perspectives!

Enjoy!

With a storied track record of success in brick and mortar hospital settings, Jennifer teaches us more about her deep dive into the digital health space.

Relying on the strengths that "got you there" while also taking risks into areas that are new to you, are some of the messages we absorbed.  Jennifer's leap into digital health was at the same time the globe was dealing with the COVID pandemic and it was strong leadership, vision focused efforts and pure grit that made OSF's digital health progression a success.

Jennifer started her career as an RN and Leader and has been a part of OSF's healthcare system one way or another since 2007 holding roles ranging from CNO of a smaller site, to President within the system and SVP of the entire system's digital health initiative.
