Abstract:
Clinical and administrative nurse leaders in a safety-net health system in Northern California developed and implemented a nursing practice framework to complement the system's 5-year strategic initiative (2015-2020). Their contributions have been integral to the health system's strategic direction and success. This article summarizes highlights of the journey from intellectual curiosity to pragmatic implementation system-wide.
