INQRI Meeting: A Recap

We spent an incredibly busy couple of days together in Princeton! INQRI's Fourth Annual Meeting featured tips for using social media, a keynote address entitled "Disruption" by Bob Brook, stirring remarks from RWJF president, Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, project overviews from our new finalists, 2 panels from our Cohort 3 teams, an update on the National Quality Forum's nurse-sensitive measures, an introduction of the Intiative on the Future of Nursing, and of course: the presentation of research findings!
