Overview

The Maryland Action Coalition (MDAC) serves as one of the driving forces for transforming state health care. Recognizing the important work already underway in Maryland and with a goal of improved health outcomes for its residents, MDAC leads innovation in the health of the population through efforts that build and sustain a culture of health.

Providing quality health care services across the continuum of settings — home, community, primary, long-term, and acute care — improves health outcomes and reduces expenditures. The opportunity to improve health and reduce costs is a major force driving new models of health care. 

MDAC leads innovation in improving the health of individuals, communities, and populations through efforts that build and sustain a culture of health. Working with Maryland nurses to advance an understanding of the culture of health is an important strategy to improve health outcomes and reduce the costs associated with preventable illnesses and disorders.

The 2019 Summit:

  • Recaps the achievements and opportunities to improving health care services, health outcomes, and minimizing health disparities in Maryland.
  • Examines advancements in improving health outcomes for Maryland’s diverse populations and communities.
  • Provides a forum in which to disseminate innovation in practice, education, policy, and research in advancing a culture of health.

We welcome everyone to the Summit and are proud to be part of this nationwide movement.

Objectives

At the end of the summit attendees will be able to:

  1. Describe both successes and challenges in facilitating innovations to advance the culture of health in a variety of settings.
  2. Delineate Maryland initiatives that advance innovation in: education and continuing education of the nursing workforce, removing regulatory barriers and enhancing practice, building nursing leadership capacity, and promoting a culture of health.
  3. Identify resources, such as the NSP II program, that support the design and testing of key initiatives.
  4. Learn to stop life-threatening bleeding until medical help arrives with the Stop the Bleed training.

Stop the Bleed Information

Background:
Motivated by the 2012 tragedy in Sandy Hook and multiple tragedies that have occurred in the ensuing years, what has become known as the Hartford Consensus was convened to bring together leaders from law enforcement, the federal government, and the medical community to improve survivability from manmade or natural mass casualty events. The resulting injuries from these events generally present with severe bleeding which, if left unattended, can result in death. The participants of the Hartford Consensus concluded that by providing first responders (law enforcement) and civilian bystanders the skills and basic tools to stop uncontrolled bleeding in an emergency situation, lives would be saved. The first responder program has received very good response and is widely being used across the country. The next step is to focus on needs of civilian bystanders.

Need:
Civilians need basic training in Bleeding Control principles so they are able to provide immediate, frontline aid until first responders are able to take over care of an injured person. Due to many situations, there may be a delay between the time of injury and the time a first responder is on the scene. Without civilian intervention in these circumstances, preventable deaths will occur.

Mission/Objective:
The American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma is leading the effort to save lives by teaching the civilian population to provide vital initial response to stop uncontrolled bleeding in emergency situations. This will be accomplished by the development of a comprehensive and sustainable bleeding control education and information program targeted to civilians that will inform, educate and empower the 300+million citizens of the United States.

The National Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education awarded grants to 16 academic institutions nationwide — including $50,000 to the University of Maryland, Baltimore — to boost community-based interprofessional education and practice. The University’s Center for Interprofessional Education provided $50,000 in matching funds to facilitate the project.

The University of Maryland School of Nursing (UMSON) was awarded a $150,000 State Implementation Program (SIP) grant through the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and AARP. SIP grants were created to support the implementation of the State Campaign for Action Coalitions of the Institute of Medicine’s recommendations outlined in its 2010 report, "The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health."
