Hospitals and health systems are working hard to improve the working environment for nurses as part of their efforts to relieve the widespread nursing shortage, according to a report released recently by the American Organization of Nurse Executives, an American Hospital Association affiliate.
The report contains insights from a survey of 21 hospitals and 61 individuals about their experiences, best practices, and lessons for strengthening the nursing work environment. It focuses on six key organizational success factors in such efforts: leadership development and effectiveness, empowered collaborative decision-making, work design and service delivery innovation, values-driven organizational culture, recognition and reward systems, and professional growth and accountability.
