Shared Governance: Effective Strategies to Enhance Your Decision-Making Model
Product Description:
Webcast On-Demand
Sponsored by The annual Nursing Leadership Summit, a live event this September in Boston
presented June 23, 2009
There are five, non-negotiable principles for successful shared governance. Is your facility implementing them?
Shared governance is vital to staff satisfaction and retention because it gives nurses a voice and allows them to share in decisions about their practice. Although overwhelming evidence shows the benefits of building and maintaining a shared governance process, many facilities still struggle with developing resources, gaining support, and implementing techniques to mature a model. And if your organization is pursuing or maintaining ANCC Magnet Recognition Program® status, you are expected to have a successful shared decision-making model in place.
Build and evolve your shared governance model
Listen to HCPro's 90-minute webcast Shared Governance: Effective Strategies to Enhance Your Decision-Making Model. Industry experts Tim Porter-O'Grady, DM, EdD, APRN, FAAN and Kim S. Hitchings, MSN, RN, NEA-BC, reveal the five, proven principles you must have to make this practice-driven model work for you.
