Abstract:
As key members of the executive team, nurse executives play an integral role in the planning process and operationalization of strategic imperatives to ensure the overall success of the organization. Nurse executives are leading organizations through transition periods that require transformational leadership. Leaders must design a shared vision and set strategic priorities; empower others to lead; ensure access to resources needed for safe care delivery; and inspire people to meet the demands of the future. Paramount to effective strategic planning and achievement of positive outcomes is a leadership team that engages key stakeholders in the strategic planning process. This article provides an overview of a recently integrated health system's strategic planning process that included the engagement of patients and caregivers. This can serve as a blueprint for others in their efforts to implement a systematic approach for enhancing collaborative academic practice in their organizations.
