March 2021 SVN Roundtable Discussion
Title: VQI – the Importance of Quality Data and Outcomes
Description: The importance of quality in caring for vascular patients is paramount. Quality outcomes measure how well we, as vascular nurses and providers, care for our patients. The Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) was developed by a group of vascular surgeons in Northern New England in 2001 to “improve the quality, safety, effectiveness and cost of vascular healthcare”. The VQI now has over 775 participating centers with 18 regional groups. Data on 14 major surgical procedures and a vascular medicine registry are collected. This allows analysis of robust data sets to measure quality and evaluate effectiveness of treatment modalities.
Facilitator: Patty Bozeman, RN, APRN, Hartford Healthcare Medical Group

Title: Discover Your Inner Healing Resources for Stress Management and Self-Care Utilizing Integrative Therapies
Description: Now, more than ever, it is imperative to implement healing modalities- even if it is a stretch in one’s comfort zone. Disease manifests when there is a state of “dis-ease.” In this 60-minute discussion, participants will discover methods to “reset” and experience “ease” through a series of experientials utilizing Qigong (breathing exercises with movement), Aromatherapy (for those who have essential oils available) and Music.
