Imagine groups of nurses and other healthcare professionals from across the country coming together to brainstorm solutions to current problems in healthcare. This episode dives into this exciting event, the Virtual Nurse Hack 4 Health.

Johnson & Johnson Nursing and SONSIEL, with others, co-sponsored this online event that brought more than 500 nurses, health professionals, and tech experts together to brainstorm solutions to problems presented by the current COVID-19 pandemic.

Adrianne welcomes special guests, Rebecca Love, nurse and President of the Society of Nurse Scientists, Innovators, Entrepreneurs & Leaders (SONSIEL), and Lynda Benton, Senior Director of Global Corporate Equity with Johnson & Johnson Nursing. The trio discusses the origin and mission of the Hackathon, what the weekend looked like for participants, and some of the exciting ideas and innovations shared.

Johnson & Johnson Nursing states it perfectly: “Given nurses’ proximity to patients, their vantage point has proven time and again to be one of the greatest sources of clinical innovation—and the global nurse response to the far-reaching novel coronavirus has been no exception.” Enjoy this inspiring discussion on innovation and collaboration and learn how you can be a part of the next Nurse Hack 4 Health.
