Abstract:
The pace of change in today's healthcare environment is unprecedented. What used to happen every few months now seems to happen every day. From rapidly shifting technology to evolving models of care to new payment systems, nursing leaders must navigate constant change to stay relevant. How well they manage it has a direct bearing on everything from patient safety and outcomes to nursing cohesion and satisfaction. In this month's Magnet Perspectives column, we explore the essential elements that contribute to successful change management and the strategies leaders can employ to keep their nurses, and their organizations, forward-focused. In addition, we take a deep dive into the Magnet Model component of transformational leadership and examine its impact on creating and sustaining an environment where change flourishes and nurses thrive.
