Implementation leadership: A concept analysis
1Ingram School of Nursing, McGill University, Montreal, QC, Canada.
Aim:
To analyse the concept of implementation leadership (IL) in health care and nursing literature.
Background:
Implementation leadership has emerged as a type of leadership that is lacking but required for the successful implementation of evidence-based practices (EBPs). A concept analysis of IL can help identify, clarify and apply this concept to inform strategies for nursing leadership development.
Method:
A concept analysis using Rodger's evolutionary method identified attributes of IL, and the context in which it is expressed including antecedents, consequences, references and surrogate terms. Forty-two articles were analysed following a Boolean search of MEDLINE and CINAHL databases.
Results:
Implementation leadership is a specific and strategic approach to leadership characterized by a set of influencing behaviours leading to positive outcomes for the implementation of EBPs.
Conclusion:
The concept analysis describes an evolving term that requires further clarification. This analysis contributes to an expanding knowledge base for capacity-building strategies for EBP implementation in nursing and health care.
Implications For Nursing Management:
Effective IL, specifically in nurse managers, may be key in facilitating the implementation process for future successes. Nursing managers can build on a foundation of general leadership practices and consider the role of other members of the nurse leadership team in IL.
