Nursing Program Development
Empowering nurses impacts patient care.
Leading health care organizations understand that a highly competent, committed nursing workforce is critical to patient satisfaction, interdisciplinary team performance, and patient outcomes.
Nursing leadership development is one of the most important factors to consider when developing quality health care systems.
Today nurses are being called upon to take on more senior roles in leadership, education, clinical care, and research and are increasingly asked to contribute to hospital planning and strategy development.
The responsibilities of senior nurses and nurse managers extends beyond the bedside, to new demands that they:
- Manage performance from a patient, quality, financial, and human resource perspective — not only for inpatient and outpatient units, but also for clinical departments, service lines, and institutions
- Play integral roles in the sustainability and advancement of a culture of quality and patient safety, contributing to the success of accreditation efforts
- Serve on interdisciplinary research teams, and lead large multi-center evidencebased nursing studies
At HEALTHBY, it has been our experience that when an organization invests in the professional development of its nurses, tangible impacts are seen for the nursing department, the organization, and patients.
An empowered nursing leadership team can have a significant impact on nurse retention, competency development, and quality.
Our approach is to work with our partners to co-develop nursing leadership competency models and curricula that guide a group of committed nurses on a journey that prepares them to lead and manage performance.
How we can help.
- Co-develop nursing leadership development programs that are tailored to the unique culture, needs, and learning styles of our partner’s environment
- Use a train-the-trainer model that enables our partners to own, deliver, and sustain these programs
- Assist our partners in creating program curricula that are highly experiential, evidence-based, and tied to real-life projects impacting the institutions where the nurses practice
- Provide opportunities for selected nurses to observe and learn in Boston health care institutions to build clinical and leadership skills
