Associations Thrive host Joanna Pineda interviews Tracey Moorhead, President and CEO of the American Association of Post-Acute Care Nursing. Tracey introduces AAPACN, shares her journey to becoming President and CEO, and then shares what AAPACN has been doing to increase membership and help their members navigate this challenging healthcare environment.

Tracey discusses:

• What post-acute patient care is and why it’s not being taught in nursing schools
• AAPACN’s new corporate member strategy
• Research that shows having even one AAPACN-certified nurse at a facility results in better quality outcomes and higher reimbursement rates
• The resources that the association makes available to members each month that help nurses comply with regulations and ensure quality treatments and outcomes for their patients

AAPACN membership is up and AAPACN is demonstrating amazing value to members every day!
