We are all familiar with TED Talks (Technology, Entertainment, Design).
Now we have a mechanism to creatively address ideas specific to
healthcare, nursing, and improving outcomes.

Introducing PICOTalks

(P) professionalism, (I) innovation, (C) collaboration (or creativity), and (O) outcomes

PICOTalks addresses the needs of nursing and healthcare professionals to address a wide range of topics.
These recorded presentations are offered for free to anyone interested.
The presenter agrees to offer their expertise without charge, and the viewer is asked to
donate to the Foundation to support nursing excellence.
