It is clear to almost everyone that conflict is inevitable in life—in our personal lives as well as in the workplace. Different personalities, different work styles, cultural/ethnic norms, and differences in generational mix, all lead to an endless possibility of conflict surfacing at work.
What is not so clear, is the role conflict plays in the process of change and effective team problem solving—both
major factors in improving organization performance. How can we recognize and manage the sources and trigger points of conflict? When is conflict healthy—what makes it destructive? How can we reduce or defuse
unnecessary conflict? What are the various styles of dealing with conflict, and the risks and benefits of each
approach? Participants will discuss the common sources of conflict, the five styles of handling conflict, and
practical skills for dealing with conflict more effectively.
Following her successful program last November: “From Difficult to Dynamic—Engaging Challenging Employees,” Joan Evans will return to CHA to present this full-day, highly interactive program, frequently requested by supervisors and managers attending prior management development programs.

HITECH—Meaningful Use: What’s In It For Connecticut Hospitals?
March 16, 2010 8:45AM - 1:45PM
Fees: Acute Care Hospital Member $100;
Other Member $125;
Non-Member $250
Over the next few years, $17 billion in federal incentive payments for meaningful use of Electronic Health
Records (EHR) systems will become available through the HITECH Act within ARRA. While this affords hospitals an unprecedented opportunity to invest in EHR, they must understand how to set up an EHR system that is compliant with HITECH’s funding eligibility requirements.
In addition, $2 billion will be allocated through the Office of National Coordinator (ONC) for funding to
qualified regional or state Health Information Exchange (HIE) projects to achieve and sustain HIE within and
among states.
We encourage hospital teams including CFOs, COOs, CIOs and directors of health information management,
reimbursement managers, in-house counsel, compliance and risk officers, to join us for this full-day program
to understand how hospitals must comply with these standards to access funds and the consequences of not
participating.

Advanced Concepts for Experienced Nurse Preceptors
March 25, 2010 9:00AM - 3:45PM
Fees: Acute Care Hospital Member $125 per person 1 and 2; $99 per person 3 or more from the same Acute Care Hospital Member institution.;
Other Member $150 per person 1 and 2; $125 per person 3 or more from the same CHA Other Member institution.;

Experienced nurse preceptors play a vital role in the development of professional nurses at their organizations. While the rewards of teaching students and new nurses are great, the demands and challenges are many. Supporting these veteran staff registered nurses to grow and learn in their own right is an important part of sustaining their good work.
Advanced Concepts for Experienced Nurse Preceptors is a full-day program conceived by the same team of educators from Connecticut hospitals and schools of nursing that developed the highly successful basic nurse preceptorship program. It is designed to help experienced nurse preceptors renew knowledge of basic concepts, learn about and discuss specific preceptor practices and professional nursing trends, and participate in interactive sessions with their counterparts from around the state on topics that present challenges to them.
Following a brief overview of basic precepting concepts, this inaugural program will feature sessions on mechanisms for building confidence and developing independence in the preceptee, Magnet journey concepts, staying current as a professional, and “challenge scenario” discussion and analysis. The program will provide a unique opportunity for nurses who have precepted for a few years to learn and strengthen their skills and to share experiences with colleagues from a variety of organizations.
