Health Care Reform &
Its Impact on Addictions Nursing:
Navigating Change through the Rapids
Madison Hotel Oct. 15-18, 2014 Washington, D.C.
Welcome from the President

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:
ƒƒ Promote international collaboration and perspective on addictions
globally.
ƒƒ Enhance knowledge of significant developments in the field of addictions
globally.
ƒƒ Advance skills to promote comprehensive evidence-based quality care of
individuals and their families experiencing problems related to addictions.
ƒƒ Increase networking opportunities with other behavioral health care
professionals who focus on addictions in their practice.

Health Care Reform & Its Impact
on Addictions Nursing: Navigating
Change through the Rapids
Welcome to Washington, D.C.
and the 38th IntNSA Annual
Educational Conference
Dear Colleagues:
The IntNSA Conference planning committee for the 38TH Annual
Conference is delighted to invite you back to Washington, D.C. for our
third year in a row! 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. And finally, we have a workshop on Integrating
Dialectical Behavior Therapy with the 12 Steps.
Mary Wakefield, PhD, RN, FAAN has been invited as our keynote speaker.
Dr. Wakefield is the administrator for Heath Resources and Services
Administration for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services,
appointed in 2009.
Kathleen Bradbury-Golas, DNP, RN, APRN-BC, Assistant Professor, Graduate
Nursing at Felician College and Family Nurse Practitioner at Virtua Atlantic
Shore Family Practice, will deliver the presentation, “Affordable Care Act:
Smooth or White Waters Ahead?” Dr. Bradbury-Golas will discuss current
and upcoming changes and their impact on health care providers,
especially within addictions medicine.
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
