Abstract:

Innovation and change is a constant in healthcare. Nurses are key stakeholders in developing, implementing and executing these changes. Whether the nurse is a formal or informal leader, their presence is vital for effective change. A nurse’s voice, your voice, can drive change by leading, guiding and engaging colleagues in the process. Extraordinary outcomes can be achieved with a clearly articulated vision, an inspired team, knowledge about the change (the why behind the what), and the resources necessary to create change. This presentation focuses on how leaders can prepare for change, move forward using change management strategies and sustain meaningful change in their units. Individual and collective strengths required to lead change will be shared.
