Leadership in Nursing

Given the rapid and continual changes to the healthcare landscape, the integration of innovative technology, and an aging, complex patient population, the way in which care is delivered must be reimagined. In order to address these issues and improve the delivery of care, effective and efficient leadership is vital.

The current healthcare system requires visionary leaders to address the challenges of the current healthcare environment and to become an active player in healthcare reform. The landmark report by the Institute of Medicine (IOM, 2011), The Future of Nursing, Leading Change, Advancing Health focuses on transformation of nursing practice, nursing education, and nursing leadership. The Future of Nursing, Leading Change, Advancing Health can be found at the National Academies of Science website.

Being a leader, or a full partner in healthcare reform, means taking responsibility for recognizing problems or needs in the healthcare setting. Nurses at all levels of care must serve as strong advocates for patients and take the initiative to become involved with decision-making and offering suggestions on how to improve the delivery healthcare.
