Welcome from the President 2 The International Nurses Society on Addictions (IntNSA) is pleased to announce its 38TH Annual Educational Conference, Oct. 15-18, 2014, at the Madison Hotel in Washington, D.C. Dear Colleagues: For almost four decades, IntNSA has provided leading educational programs for nurses and other professionals who work with individuals, groups and populations impacted by substance use disorders. The International Nurses Society on Addictions (IntNSA) proudly presents the 38TH Annual Educational Conference, “Health Care Reform & Its Impact on Addictions Nursing: Navigating Change through the Rapids.” 2014 is a pivotal year, when many aspects of The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 begin implementation. As of the writing of this welcome message, there are already 7.5 million Americans who have received health care insurance coverage through the insurance exchanges and the new federal WEB site (www.healthcare.gov). This has exceeded the initial projection of 7 million new Americans receiving coverage. This is an incredible time for nursing. As the focus of this act is on prevention, collaboration and the integration of services, for example, behavioral health being integrated right into the primary care setting, nurses from all sectors will be in great demand. It is also a time of change in health care delivery to those that we in addictions nursing serve. The fact remains that as addictions nurses we must work collaboratively among ourselves as well as with other professionals. I believe this is a critical time for nurses specializing in addictions to embrace interprofessional collaboration and integrated care in all work sectors. We can and should play a fundamental role in reducing the burden of injury, disease and disability associated with the continuum of substance use. Come to this conference – to learn, to be inspired, to be recharged – and ready to lead and direct change that focuses on collaboration and integration when you return to your community and workplace. With the 38TH Annual Educational Conference located in Washington D.C., we have engaged experts from various sectors inclusive but not limited to education, administration, practice, research and health policy. The conference planning committee has thoughtfully developed a program to help nurses in their specific roles. The high-quality sessions, symposia and workshops offered at this conference reflect IntNSA’s commitment to disseminate the latest evidence. You will also obtain continuing education credits needed for licensure, relicensure and/or initial certification and certification renewal. The conference provides opportunities for networking with colleagues. Sharing ideas, engaging in discussions and developing partnerships are as much a part of this conference as expanding your knowledge base. I hope you take advantage of the pre-conference workshops, the conference and some of the exciting events planned by the conference planning committee. I encourage you to register early for our 38TH Annual Educational Conference. I look forward to seeing you at this exciting conference in the nation’s capital! IntNSA’s Mission To advance excellence in nursing care for the prevention and treatment of addictions for diverse populations across all practice settings through advocacy, collaboration, education, research and policy development. Conference Description This conference focuses on the requisite knowledge, skills and abilities for any nurse who cares for persons with substance use, abuse and addictions. Providing patient-centered care through prevention, screening, treatment and recovery services is best brought about when interdisciplinary teams work together to accomplish effective and successful patient care outcomes. Interdisciplinary collaboration utilizes the Institute of Medicine’s core competencies of evidencebased practice, informatics and quality assurance to promote positive lifestyle changes. Attendees will increase their skills and knowledge base for collaborative practice with health care colleagues to further patient-centered care for those with substance use disorders. The goals of the 38TH Annual Educational Conference are to: Promote international collaboration and perspective on addictions globally. Enhance knowledge of significant developments in the field of addictions globally. Advance skills to promote comprehensive evidence-based quality care of individuals and their families experiencing problems related to addictions. Increase networking opportunities with other behavioral health care professionals who focus on addictions in their practice. Target Audience Nurses who specialize in the prevention and treatment of addictions Nurses who practice in other specialty areas Health care professionals who specialize in addictions Employee assistance professionals Credentialed addictions counselors and prevention specialists Community agency workers Private practice therapists Continuing Education IntNSA awards contact hours for nurses, advanced practice nurses and chemical dependency professionals who attend the Annual Educational Conference. IntNSA calculates the maximum number of contact hours for this program to be 19.25 (this includes pre-conference workshops). This activity has been submitted to the Ohio Nurses Association (OBN-001-91) for approval to award contact hours. The Ohio Nurses Association is accredited as an approver of continuing nursing education by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation. Please visit www.intnsa.org for more information regarding contact hours and for a full list of session objectives. The pending credits include pharmacology hours. An application for continuing education for addictions professionals will be submitted to NAADAC, the Association for Addictions Professionals. Albert A.

With this year’s theme, “Health Care Reform & Its Impact on Addictions Nursing: Navigating Change through the Rapids,” the 38TH Annual Educational Conference promises to provide well-known national and international speakers presenting on current and important evidenced-based knowledge and practice in the area of addictions. On the Wednesday before the official opening of the conference, there will be three pre-conference workshops offered. Current President Al Rundio will again offer the CARN/CARN-AP Review Course. Anyone thinking of taking the CARN or CARN-AP certification examinations in the next year will want to attend this review. Past President Bill Lorman will be offering an Addictions 101 workshop.

Two other keynote speakers, well-known to addictions audiences and IntNSA audiences, are Dr. Carlo C. DiClemente, an eminent addiction researcher in the area of Stages of Change, and David Mineta, Deputy Director on Demand Reduction from the Office of National Drug Control Policy. Important Dates Friday, Aug. 31 Early registration ends Tuesday, Sept. 23 Hotel reservation cutoff Tuesday, Sept. 30 Registration closes (on-site registration is available after this date) In addition to this the federal policy panelists will return this year to further the discussion on regulatory issues effecting addictions nursing. Representatives on this panel include policy experts, which is a guarantee for invaluable discussion on this significant topic. The IntNSA Abstract Committee, chaired by Susanne Fogger, has chosen presentations for the remainder of the program that will assuredly appeal to a wide and diverse audience on many areas of addictions research and clinical practice. And finally, this year IntNSA is planning a social event on Saturday afternoon that will be a fun way to bring people together. A trip to Mount Vernon is being planned with a tour of the grounds followed by dinner near the hotel. We look forward to seeing everyone at the IntNSA Annual Educational Conference!
