This new edition of Aspen's bestselling book, The Nurse as Executive, has been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect the significant cha nges in nursing management. The nurse executive's role as a member of the executive team is examined, as well as the nurse executive's role in health care issues, such as quality, outcomes, team building, and c ost containment. Organizing the book around the new resource-driven ma nagement model rather than the goal-driven management model makes this book unique and distinguishes it from other management texts.
Written by experienced nurse executives who teach in rigorous academic programs and are executive practice experts, this book offers important insights into the nurse executive role and key management and leadership principles critical for success. Nursing faculty and students will find these principles embedded in quality improvement and evidence-based practice, and advanced by Joint Commission accreditation as well as the Quadruple Aim and Magnet Designation models. The book addresses critical business topics such as health care policy, informatics, and business planning, and also offers a glimpse into today's C-Suite and the complex contemporary business challenges being navigated by today's healthcare executives.
Teaches you how to create your own definition of good leadership; develop your own leadership style that works for your situation; add to your leadership toolbox with the various models, vignettes, case studies, and reflective questions; and apply what you learn immediately into practice.
The Future of Nursing explores how nurses' roles, responsibilities, and education should change significantly to meet the increased demand for care that will be created by health care reform and to advance improvements in America's increasingly complex health system. At more than 3 million in number, nurses make up the single largest segment of the health care work force. They also spend the greatest amount of time in delivering patient care as a profession. Nurses therefore have valuable insights and unique abilities to contribute as partners with other health care professionals in improving the quality and safety of care as envisioned in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) enacted this year. Nurses should be fully engaged with other health professionals and assume leadership roles in redesigning care in the United States. To ensure its members are well-prepared, the profession should institute residency training for nurses, increase the percentage of nurses who attain a bachelor's degree to 80 percent by 2020, and double the number who pursue doctorates. Furthermore, regulatory and institutional obstacles-including limits on nurses' scope of practice-should be removed so that the health system can reap the full benefit of nurses' training, skills, and knowledge in patient care. In this book, the Institute of Medicine makes recommendations for an action-oriented blueprint for the future of nursing.

This book takes insights drawn from the Executive Nurse Fellows program established by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to promote the idea of leadership development as an empowering force among nurses at ALL levels. It is intended as both a guide for professionals; leaders in schools of nursing, hospitals and other health care delivery systems, ambulatory care, long-term care, public and occupational health, and public policy, and as a text in leadership courses for students at master's level and beyond. It presents the core competencies developed by the RWJ Nurse Fellows program--i.e. interpersonal and communication effectiveness, risk-taking and creativity, self-knowledge, inspiring and leading change, and strategic vision--as the keys to nursing leadership. The book is organized around the program's "leadership compass," a method used in leadership skill development. The four points of that compass are: Purpose: the vision to lead People: the passion to work with others Process: the skills to manage change Personal: the self-knowledge to thrive For each of these four points, the contributors (all graduates of the RWJ program) explore related competencies in each of three sections of the book: issues in public health, education, and service. The chapters reflect real-world experiences and are built around case studies that highlight one or two of the competencies.
