Driving Precision Health Integration into Nursing Practice
This webinar is hosted by AACN’s Research Leadership Network (RLN).
Webinar Details
Precision Health is an innovative and personalized approach to healthcare tailored to the individual. It draws on unique genomic information alongside socioeconomic and cultural influence, as well as environmental and lifestyle factors to support individualized, person-centered care.
Although Precision Health has led to significant advancements in healthcare, its adoption within nursing practice remains limited. A major barrier to integration is the absence of clear implementation guidelines. Nurses generally recognize the value of Precision Health in enhancing person-centered care and support its inclusion in nursing practice; however, confidence in how to effectively integrate it remains comparatively low.
This webinar is hosted by AACN’s Research Leadership Network (RLN).
- Participants will be able to explain what Precision Health is and discuss its advantages for person-centered care.
- Participants will be able to identify the current barriers to integrating Precision Health into nursing practice, including the lack of clear implementation guidelines and limited confidence among nurses.
- Participants will be able to reflect on and describe ways to incorporate Precision Health principles into their own nursing practice.
Note: Recording of the webinar will be available soon after the webinar airs. Visit AACN's On-Demand Webinars to watch.
