摘要:

This article describes the future role of nurse executives as designers of health care rather than respondents to internal and external environmental forces. The successful executives will be proactive, dedicated, and politically astute. These individuals will engineer vertical organizations that are empowered, fluid, and flexible. These new organizational skills will be developed through innovative executive educational programs designed at the master's and doctoral levels. Well-established executives from business, education, public health, medicine, administration, health systems, and education will become the faculty preparing these individuals. These programs will integrate other health care disciplines through an integrated and flexible approach to learning. The development of these roles will influence policy and decision making at all levels within health care.

摘要:

Nursing, is with health care delivery, is changing to meet the greater challenges brought about by managed care and the accompanying external forces in the marketplace. Nurses, with their vast resources of knowledge and experience, are crucial in achieving optimal quality care. Given the opportunity to redefine and strengthen the impact of nursing practice at Piedmont Medical center in Atlanta, Georgia, a group of advanced practice nurses began developing a unique practice model. The resulting Professional Nursing Practice Model—a theoretical framework created for nurses by nurses—presents a common vision ol human beings, health, and nursing in accordance with the values and beliefs of nursing. This model demonstrates the import.nice ol a person-centered, value-driven nursing practice across I he continuum of health from birth to death.

摘要:

The health care world is being upended. Nurse executives, like other leaders, must develop new roles or risk being displaced or discarded. The health care organizations of the future are likely to look and function much more like “knowledge-intense organizations,” peopled by knowledge professionals working in sophisticated interdisciplinary groups or teams. Nurse executives are well positioned to create new leadership roles in these knowledge-intense organizations.

摘要:

I health care managers and administrators are increasingly assuming leadership and management responsibilities for multiple units and departments. To determine key roles, functions, and responsibilities of nursing and other health care managers and administrators, a survey was conducted to identify the perceived importance and amount of time these individuals devote to selected activities. Although the amount of lime and perceived importance of selected activities varied with each environmental context, some key roles, functions, and responsibilities across practice disciplines did emerge. Regardless of the environmental context, administrators and managers at all levels in health care organizations spend significant amounts of time and place high value on communication, problem solving and decision making, collaboration with other disciplines, people development, and cost containment.

Nurse executives' perceptions of their own involvement in strategic decision making generally agreed with the views of both chiefs ol stall and directors. However, the associate director's perceptions of the nurse executive's involvement often differed significantly with those of the nurse. Nurse executives will be belter prepared to function effectively within the top management team it they are aware of patterns in how they are perceived by other members.

摘要:

This article describes the outcome of a survey of 40 nurse executives and 56influential colleague's. Both groups agreed that leadership was the most important quality for the executive role. The nurses' primary focus was resolution of patient care problems. Influential colleagues stated resource allocation and initiation of change were two qualities needing improvement. The nurses rated themselves high in confidence about their job responsibilities, scored relationships as the most satisfying attribute, and cited provision of quality health care as the greatest advantage of their position. The greatest disadvantage was lack of administrative support. The results suggest the educational preparation needed for nurse executives.

摘要:

The article describes the role of ward managers at middle-sized hospitals and analyzes thai role with respect to motivation, role content, and skills and competencies, as well as challenges and problems. The most striking result of this study was the unwillingness of Swedish executive nurses to return to nursing. Among the findings that explain this “career with no return” are an increased taste for challenges; an irrevocable, new professional identity; and a loss of nursing skills and the ability to subordinate. The article discusses the implications for recruitment and education.
