CareLinx by Sharecare introduces clinical advisory board of national nursing leaders

I was ahead of my time and on the cutting-edge of homecare long before the concept became popular. I was ahead of my time and developed diverse homecare programs for the VNA of Dallas, TransMed Division of HCA, a Medical-School based outpatient clinic, and multiple acute care hospitals. Now, I am again ahead of the game by aligning with @carelinxbysharecare as a member of the newly-appointed #clinicaladvisoryboard.

Peruse the announcement below, and join me in congratulating the other members of our new board, each of whom will contribute to growth, care delivery, outcomes, and safety. #carelinx IS the CUTTING EDGE, and I am so proud to be involved!

ATLANTA – April 26, 2022 – Sharecare (Nasdaq: SHCR), the digital health company that helps people manage all their health in one place, today announced the creation of a clinical advisory board for its home health platform and network of caregivers, #CareLinx by Sharecare.

Composed of nursing leaders representing private practice, academia, government, the private sector, and the military, the board will provide strategic advice on how to equip nurse-caregivers with the tools, resources, and community support to sustain a rewarding career in home health. As the increasingly complex care needs of an aging population meet a nursing workforce that is projected to experience high turnover in the coming years, these experts will help Sharecare’s home health business foster a rewarding workplace culture for highly qualified professionals at all levels of nursing by offering expanded support with licensing, training, networking, continuing education, content, and more.

“The nursing leaders who make up CareLinx by Sharecare’s new clinical advisory board represent some of the most respected talent in the industry, and we’re excited to have them join us as we position ourselves as a key partner to support nurses in developing fulfilling career paths,” said Sherwin Sheik, head of home health at Sharecare. “Building on our recent growth, we’re committed to creating a community that will empower our caregivers, help them develop as professionals and, in turn, provide exceptional high-touch clinical care to our members.”

In addition to its focus on recruitment and retention, the board will help shape CareLinx by Sharecare’s clinical care offering, ensuring the development of tech-enabled home care plans are informed by the highest-quality evidence and latest best practices.

“The expertise, thoughtfulness, and influence of CareLinx by Sharecare’s clinical advisory board are critical resources as we strive to create a home for the exceptional nursing talent of today and tomorrow,” said Donna Hill Howes, RN, MS, Sharecare’s chief nursing officer. “Representing all levels of nursing and an array of sectors, our board members bring a wealth of experience that will put CareLinx by Sharecare on the cutting edge of delivering care in the home.”

The members of the board are:

Shawna Butler, RN, BSN, MBA – nurse economist; host, SEE YOU NOW podcast
Barbara Ficarra, RN, BSN, MPA – health educator, health system leader
Patricia Geraghty, FNP-BC, WHNP – nurse practitioner, private practice
Jason Gleason, MSN, NP-C, USAF LTC (RET) – nurse practitioner, Veterans Health Administration; retired U.S. Air National Guard lieutenant colonel
Efrat LaMandre, PhD, FNP-C – family nurse practitioner, private practice
Michele Mercer, RN – AVP, analytic consulting and data science, Blue Health Intelligence
JoAnn Shaw, LPN – president, Wisconsin Association of Licensed Practical Nurses; vice president, National Association of Licensed Practical Nurses
Beth Ann Swan, PhD, RN, FAAN – transitional care expert; Professor and Associate Dean at Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing, Emory University
Sharon M. Weinstein, RN, MS, FAAN – CEO and founder, SMW Group LLC
Christopher Wilson, RN, APRN, FNP-C – family nurse practitioner, Veterans Health Administration; First Lieutenant, U.S. Army Reserve

With an exclusive offering for AARP members and key partnerships with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs through the Elizabeth Dole Foundation and several of the largest health plans in the U.S., over 1.5 million Medicare Advantage members have access to CareLinx by Sharecare for free through their health plans.

I invite you to discover #carelinxbysharecare and partner with us to ensure best practices, an engaged nursing workforce, and great outcomes!

Three big words…

The three words beginning with the letter “I” are characteristics of great leaders.

Where do you find such leaders? How do you get to learn from them? How do you connect with them, even in a virtual space, and what’s in it for you?

These are all great questions. Of course, I have a great answer. Please join Candy Campbell and me for the Global Healthcare Leadership Summit on November 5th and 6th.

Keep your Distance…but stay close!

What a change a pandemic can make! Covid-19 has wreaked havoc in our daily lives, disrupted business and the economy, and taken its toll on human lives. What more can we expect, and how can we keep our distance, yet remain close?

I think about a colleague whose dad is quite ill; she needs to be at his bedside, and she is unable to be there, to have a presence, to provide support. I think about how that makes her feel, and I am saddened by her inability to be physically close. I think about my career as a nurse and how how the opportunity to hold a hand, to wipe a forehead, and to smile beyond a mask brought joy to those for whom I provided care, as well as to me.

I think about today’s students at all levels of their education who are having a transformational experience…whose connection is across networks, and who are learning as much about life as they are about required core curriculum. I think about the Class of 2020: the 3.7 million high school seniors for whom natural trauma has been a constant. Born right after 9/11; they were fifth graders during Sandy Hook, and they were sophomores when a gunman attacked Marjorie Stoneman High School in Parkland, FL. Our country has been at war since they were born, and the current war, the Coronavirus Pandemic, has reinforced life’s lessons that change happens.

I think about those on the frontlines, the healthcare workers, first responders and all of those who are working in “essential industries,” who risk their lives and those of their loved ones each and every day so that we may remain safe.

As controls are lifted, and as some communities venture out into a new type of normal, please consider these best practices for distancing:

Limit your time in public; schedule your outings carefully
Keep your distance
Bring hand sanitizer; continue to wear gloves
Wash your hands
Cover your mouth; wear a mask to protect others

Remain close with phone calls to friends and loved ones, video chats, virtual game night (bring out those board games and decks of cards), virtual movie night, exercise videos and workouts online, mindfulness activities, and video games that connect you locally and globally. Use your devices to connect, to see others, to celebrate birthdays and milestones, and to stay connected. Keep your distance…but stay close!
