CHCI’s 2026 Magnet® & Pathway® Conference Recap: Connections That Continue Beyond Chicago

Thank you, Chicago, and thank you to everyone who connected with Creative Health Care Insight at the 2026 Magnet® & Pathway® Conference! Our time at Booth 1254 offered an opportunity to meet nursing leaders, reconnect with colleagues, and introduce attendees to CHCI’s approach to workforce development. We appreciated the chance to learn about organizations’ priorities and explore where technology, education, and consulting could support their next steps.

In our preconference preview, we shared what attendees could expect from CHCI in Chicago. Now, we are looking back at those connections and looking ahead to continuing the conversation.

Connecting With the Nursing Community

Conferences create space to step away from daily responsibilities and consider what comes next. For CHCI, they also provide an opportunity to listen. Every organization brings its own history, goals, and challenges to workforce development. Understanding that context matters when considering a new platform, strengthening an existing process, or planning for future growth.

Thank you to the leaders, educators, and healthcare professionals who made time to connect with our team. Your perspectives help keep the conversation grounded in the work happening inside healthcare organizations every day.

A New Booth, Giveaways, and a Golden Opportunity

Our new booth presence gave attendees a place to meet the CHCI team and explore MyCHCI. Giveaways and our Golden Ticket raffle added some fun to the experience. We enjoyed welcoming visitors who were discovering CHCI for the first time, along with those already familiar with our work. Thank you to everyone who stopped by, asked a question, or entered the raffle!

Continuing the Work of Nursing Excellence

The conference may have ended, but the work of supporting nurses continues. 

CHCI brings technology together with education, consulting, and implementation support. Our Competency Suite supports initial and ongoing competency development. CHCI is also the only platform legally authorized to digitize the Donna Wright Competency Assessment Model™, with exclusive TSAM® implementation education and consulting available to CHCI platform clients. 

Our Professional Portfolio Suite connects workforce data with career advancement, peer feedback, mentoring, and succession planning. Through our partnership with Creative Health Care Management’s Cultures of Excellence team, platform clients can also access nursing-excellence guidance to help align these processes with organizational priorities. 

Whether an organization is evaluating one process or considering a broader workforce-development strategy, the starting point is understanding what its people need and what it wants to accomplish.
