Healthcare services are constantly adapting to trends and policy, with healthcare professionals, especially nurses, having to lead, organize and deliver care in an increasingly challenging and changing environment
Traditionally, nurses have been over-managed and led inadequately, yet today they face unprecedented challenges and opportunities. Organizations constantly face changes that require an increasingly adaptive and flexible leadership
Explosive technological growth, for example, requires ongoing adaptation and change
Healthcare is complex and requires effective leaders skilled at leading and adapting to change.
This challenging and changing environment is not unique to health care; it is considered to be universal and appears to be increasing in intensity and complexity.
With the current challenges healthcare is facing, it's vital for the nursing profession to be on the forefront of healthcare reform and fully engaged in the implementation of the changes that are expected to take place in our healthcare system.
