Penn Nursing Leading us into the Future

Today, our students, faculty, and alumni continue to lead the charge to improve healthcare through a myriad of discoveries and innovations, the integration of technology and education, and advocacy for policy to improve lives. As our nation tackles the tough questions surrounding healthcare reform, physical and mental healthcare for our returning soldiers, chronically ill adults, our aging parents, and our most vulnerable children, its leaders look to Penn Nursing for solutions.

At the onset of the healthcare reform debate, leading Penn Nursing researchers testified before Congress about the public health, economic and social impacts on hospital admission and readmission. This past spring, First Lady Michelle Obama turned to Penn Nursing to lead a nurse-driven, national effort to identify, treat, and conduct research on post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury amongst returning service members.

And today, our faculty, alumni, and budding nurses are charting the course that will be necessary to address the challenges for patients, hospitals and communities with or without the implementation of the Affordable Care Act.

As Dean of the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing, I am proud that support from alumni and friends like you have inspired, energized and strengthened our ability to make a difference in healthcare locally, nationally, and globally. I hope that the stories contained in this annual report demonstrate the impact you have had on the future of nursing education, research, and practice across the globe. In the final year of the University’s Making History campaign, you have positioned us to respond to the most pressing health challenges of our time. Penn nurses have always made history. Today, with your help, they are leading us into the future.

The Healthy Cities: Healthy Women initiative is bringing together alumni and experts around the United States and abroad for cutting-edge discussions to promote healthy urban environments for women, their families, and their communities, and to highlight Penn’s pioneering role in this new discipline.

To date, Healthy Cities: Healthy Women has engaged alumni in Miami and New York. This November, the city of Los Angeles will join the initiative in a day-long conference featuring actress Halle Berry. With momentum for these grass-roots efforts growing, the School of Nursing is actively engaged in the planning stages for similar events in Washington, D.C., London, and Mumbai.

Perhaps one of the most lasting legacies of Dr. Hassan was the passion for nursing she imparted to her daughter, Afaf Meleis. Today, as the Margaret Bond Simon Dean of the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing, Dr. Afaf I. Meleis continues to be inspired by the humanistic commitment, inquisitiveness, and autonomy of her late mother, remembering that her nursing career was made possible through a scholarship to study nursing in the United States. And thanks to the generous establishment of a visiting global scholars fund at Penn Nursing, the legacy of a mother will give rise to nursing leaders of tomorrow around the world.

In 1887, the first class of graduating nurses at Penn had to provide their own thermometers, scissors, pins, and pin cushion. Today, each student has access to electronic health records, iPads, 3 and real-to-life simulated hospital rooms. As we evolve our efforts, techniques, and technologies to extend the reach of what our nurses can learn, discover, and heal, Penn Nursing remains committed to advancing our understanding of the human and societal conditions that shape our care. Support from our alumni, friends, faculty, and parents continues to shape the future of nursing.

Unique problems require unique solutions. From national healthcare reform to global health crises the complex challenges of our time require an increasing focus on innovation with an interdisciplinary twist.

To date, this unique program has graduated more than 60 healthcare business leaders who have gone on to pursue transformational opportunities to improve lives, including work for Medtronic, McKinsey & Company, the Clinton Foundation, UCLA Medical Center, Credit Suisse, and even in Hollywood.

For current Nursing/Wharton dual degree student, Mihir Khokhani Nu’13, W’13, the challenging program is ideal for his future goals. “Healthcare is a business and, for me, the clinical knowledge and experience I am getting at Penn Nursing is integral to knowing, and one day improving, that business. My long term goal is to work in hospital administration, and to improve the delivery of care; I know I will be applying what I learned at Wharton and at Penn Nursing to achieve that goal.”

OH H 3C

Students and alumni like these underscore the critical need for educational support and opportunities to prepare innovative and interdisciplinary healthcare leaders.

Jan A. Sigmon, C’82, and her husband Andrew L. Dworkin, C’81, answered that call.

Students enrolled in the Nursing/ Wharton program, including eight incoming freshman, will now have the opportunity to receive support from the newly-created Jan A. Sigmon and Andrew L. Dworkin Endowed Scholarship.

“Penn Nursing is undergoing a practical and intellectual renaissance; it has absolutely redefined nursing and what is possible through that discipline,” said Sigmon. “Loving Penn as much as our family does, and fully understanding the unique power of Penn’s institutionalized dual degree programs like the Nursing/Wharton Program, how could my husband and I not extend ourselves and our philanthropy to this extraordinary opportunity for deserving students?”

IMPACT

Since 1997, Penn Nursing and the Wharton School of Business have offered a coordinated dual degree program that addresses the dynamic changes in the delivery and financing of healthcare services in the United States and abroad. Combining a Bachelor of Science in Nursing with a Bachelor of Science in Economics, the Nursing and Healthcare Management Dual Degree Program offers a curriculum designed to develop leaders in healthcare administration and addresses concerns about the quality, cost, and management of healthcare worldwide.

N O State of the Art Simulation

Helping to bring to life the School’s innovative teaching methods and learning technology, the simulation spaces are designed to reflect real-life care settings, including emergency, home care, and hospital. In addition, each simulation space is outfitted with video systems to record students’ simulation experiences, allowing for debriefing and reflection.

One Penn Nursing undergraduate student views the new simulation facilities as so revolutionary for nursing education that she inspired her family’s Cascade Foundation to support the purchase of a simulated teenage patient, simulated infant patient, a pediatric exam table, two hospital beds and a code cart.

“I know what a difference this makes in my own preparation for real-world care,” said the student, who asked to remain anonymous. “I want generations of Penn Nurses to have access to the most advanced and relevant educational tools.”

Starting this fall, students will engage in a much more in-depth level of simulation learning with new topof-the-line simulated patients and transformational video technology for reflective learning. These state-of-theart learning tools will be integrated with fundamental coursework and essential competencies to provide budding nurses with a challenging but safe opportunity to review and assess the effectiveness of their skills, diagnostic instincts, and efficiency.

As the U.S. population becomes increasingly more diverse, the nursing profession is struggling to ensure its workforce mirrors the patient population and has the ability to provide quality, culturally competent patient care. Dr. Martín, a member of Penn Nursing’s Board of Overseers, wants to change that. That’s why she established the Ignacio and Elena Martín Endowed Fellowship to provide financial support to a graduate student who otherwise would be unable to meet the cost of a Penn education and to support the University’s educational policy of promoting student body diversity.

Over the past eight years, Penn Nursing’s home, Claire M. Fagin Hall, has undergone a physical transformation, thanks to a multi-phased renovation that improved each floor in the building. Some of the greatest transformations included the expansion and enhancement of the School’s learning and research laboratories.

The Anatomy and Physiology Laboratory underwent a transformation in the summer of 2011. Gone are the long lab benches that restricted interaction between student and instructor, replaced with small group tables that house iPads and innovative teaching applications. Associate Professor Dr. Connie Scanga manages the iPads remotely, seamlessly conveying information and answering questions. A projection microscope enables her to project images directly onto a blackboard-sized screen. This allows students to see precisely what she is describing, be it a molecular structure or a dissection sample, creating a more unified and effective learning experience.

14

As part of the Center for Biobehavioral Research, the Biobehavioral Research Laboratory hosts state-of-the-art equipment enabling faculty members and doctoral students to conduct interdisciplinary research. The laboratory is home to research in areas including sleep, nutrition/ metabolism, environmental science, neuroscience, and genetics/human development.

IMPACT

The latest renovations resulted in a 35% increase in the School’s simulation learning facilities, adding high fidelity simulation and new evaluative techniques. The newlynamed Helene Fuld Pavilion for Innovative Learning includes new computer and audio/visual systems, the newest patient simulators, and five high-fidelity simulation rooms including a home care suite. The renovations included upgrades to the general skills lab and the Brunner lab where students learn and practice tasks such as blood draws and monitoring. Video recording of student simulation experiences is a key component that allows for reflection and debriefing so students can see how they handled particular patient scenarios and discuss with faculty how they can improve care and technique.
