Implementing a strategic planning process in nursing led to significant tactic completion and fostered a culture of excellence. This approach quantifies quality nursing care and enhances the nursing environment.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Nursing Quality Improvement
  • Strategic Planning

Background:

  • Hospitals require robust strategic planning for continuous improvement.
  • Nursing departments must adapt to evolving healthcare demands.
  • Measuring the impact of strategic initiatives is crucial for success.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a 5-year strategic plan in a nursing environment.
  • To assess the implementation rate of identified tactics.
  • To understand factors influencing tactic completion and their impact on nursing quality.

Main Methods:

  • A 5-year strategic plan was developed, identifying 29 tactics in year one.
  • Two 90-day 'victory calendars' were used to drive implementation.

  • Tactics were revised and new ones added in year two, with ongoing progress tracking.

    • Main Results:

    • 17 out of 29 tactics were implemented in the first year.
    • Midway through the second year, 6 out of 30 revised/new tactics were completed.
    • Tactic completion was influenced by complexity, management turnover, and operational priorities.

    Conclusions:

    • The strategic planning process itself is more significant than the number of completed tactics.
    • The process provides mechanisms to quantify and identify quality nursing care.
    • The initiative has positively impacted the perception of the nursing environment, fostering a culture of excellence.
