Call for Speakers for ANA Annual Conference

TITLE: CoherentRx: Revolutionizing the role of nursing with a user-friendly mobile application that enhances patient education.

Category/Topic for Submission: Technology and the Emerging Roles for Nurses

Learner Objective 1.

Nurses will learn about how the current challenges of administering lasting patient education to a diverse set of patient populations can be offset using mobile technology.

Learner Objective 2.

Nurses will learn about employing basic technologies, like powerpoint and voice-recorded messages, which can positively and securely effect change to their workflow. See this link for content examples.

Proposal: Tom Hartle, founder and CEO of CoherentRx, is an innovator, pioneer, and expert in modern medical technology. He will discuss the current challenges facing the nursing industry and demonstrate how CoherentRx offers a multitude of solutions for them. For example, patients immediately forget 40-80% of information delivered during a consultation. The audio file-sharing component of CoherentRx uses modern technology to deliver vocal information that can be downloaded by patients via the app, allowing them to play and replay the file until all the information is understood completely.

Tom and all of us at CoherentRx understand the most important aspect of nursing and medical care: the human aspect; the face-to-face interaction between doctors, nurses and their patients. As a result, our impressive mobile application doesn’t replace or reduce the human-to-human relationship, but rather enhances it. CoherentRx does this with 3D human anatomy models, audio file-sharing and custom-built anatomy animations which assist medical professionals in explaining injury, diagnosis or treatment plans and increase patient health literacy and improve overall health outcomes. See this link.

CoherentRx is reaching out to nurses because nurses have the power to lead the charge for a healthier America. Nurses know what needs to be done to make care safe, accessible and cost effective. Nurses understand their patients and connect with them.

Our anticipated participant outcomes are that nurses will be open to incorporating modern moblie technology into their work. They will recognize the benefits and continue to strive for excellence using the tools that are available to them.
