Orthopedic nurses provide improved quality of life to the patients who suffer from musculoskeletal injury. There are many issues related orthopedics like hospitalization for replacement of joint or loss of bone density. Since, the healing process of such patients is very long and painful.

Such nurses dedicate their nursing career to improving the lives of those people who suffer from both acute injuries and chronic conditions. The orthopedic physicians only provide painkillers or prescribe a therapy regimen but it’s the main task of nurses to understand the needs of patients and heal their pain.

Nursing education involves the practical training of nurses so as to prepare them for their duties as nursing care professionals.

Decision making, analyzing, control, and budgeting are the managerial roles played by nurse leaders.

Track 14: Health Conception in Nursing

Health is the chief concept for nursing. Epistemological, logical, pragmatical, and linguistical  are the 4 principles which are used to figure out the level of maturity of health concepts. It is found that the health concept in nursing is immature and additional concept development and clarification are needed. The health need to be defined in a consistent manner with its philopshical presuppositions by nursing authorities. The health needs to be measurable, experimental based and capture the results which are sensitive to the nursing interventions. Moreover, the practice implications for the concept of health need to be conceptualized which would be possible if the nurses have consensus regarding the health.

Track 15: Advanced Health Care Transformation:-

The analytics combine the traditional reporting data with web-based and unstructured extra-enterprise data so as to help payers from becoming the victim of medical fraud. Transformative changes have occurred in healthcare because of the roles played by nurses, their education and the respect they have earned. Social and disease-type demographics of change among citizens have also led to the advancement in health care.
