Join Dr. Rob Rose, Senior Vice President of Nursing and Chief Nursing Officer, as we open the final day of the Annual Safety and Quality Summit with a look back at the insights from the first two days and a preview of today’s powerful topics. From workforce safety and better communication to simulation-based education, post-acute initiatives, and timely responses that drive better outcomes, and celebrating our Everyday Heroes of Safety - today’s sessions highlight the vital role of nursing in Ascension’s journey toward healing without harm.

11:15AM - 11:45AM
Melissa Schuman, MSN (Presenter)
Holli Stanford, RN, BSN, CCRN (Presenter)


Preventing newborn injury during the postpartum period requires vigilance, education, and teamwork. This session showcases how simulation-based training, bedside check-ins, shift huddles, and staff meetings were used to educate teams on new technology and feedback features. Learn how simulation is driving lasting change in protecting our most vulnerable patients.

12:15PM - 1:00PM
Trina Mays, MSN, CCM, CRC (Presenter)
Terrence Mcgrath, MD (Presenter)

This session highlights quality improvement initiatives in post-acute setting: increasing patient mobility during hospitalization and into post-acute care using the AMPAC tool to reduce pressure injuries, and unnecessary therapy evaluations; and boosting childhood immunization rates by age two in response to recent declines. Discover how tracking month-by-month quality scores, refining workflows, and applying data-driven strategies can elevate quality across the entire care continuum.

1:00PM - 1:45PM
Dhwani Oza, MD (Presenter)
Jennifer Keily, BSN (Presenter)
Amanda Coates, OTR (Presenter)


When every minute matters, safety and efficiency must work hand in hand. This session highlights two critical quality and safety initiatives: improving timely treatment of potential strokes in ED and acute care settings without on-site neurology, and optimizing the “Golden Hour” for extremely premature newborns to prevent hypothermia and hypoglycemia. Discover how standardized care bundles, coordinated workflows, and a relentless focus on safety are helping teams stabilize patients faster, reduce complications, and protect the most vulnerable in their first—and most critical—moments of care.
