Objective: Evaluating care pathways, strengthening patient education, developing staff's patient education skills, and improving collaboration between healthcare workers in hospitals and health centers are all topical challenges in the field of healthcare. Successful patient education requires seamless co-operation across organizational boundaries throughout the whole nursing process. The aim of this study was to assess personnel's experiences of a developmental nursing project, involving networking between Finnish primary (health centers) and special (hospitals) healthcare organizations, and the significance of development work on patient education in terms of strengthening information flow, co-operation and know-how. The aim of the study was to explore the healthcare personnel's experiences of development work in the context of networking between organizations, specifically focusing on the impact of development work with regard to information flow, co-operation and strengthening know-how. The specific research question was addressed: What is the impact of development work in this context in relation to information flow, co-operation and readiness for patient education?Methods: Data were collected from theme interviews (n=24) with primary and special healthcare team members who participated in a collaborative project, then analyzed by qualitative content analysis. Results:The findings indicate that development work on patient education improves collective expertise, key components of which are learning as a patients' counselor, collective know-how, and the exchange of knowledge.Conclusions: Development work can strengthen individual and collective know-how and nursing expertise. In the examined project, enhanced network co-operation increased collaboration between organizations and improved information flow throughout the nursing process. In addition, promotion of development on nursing and provision of feedback to the participants by the nurse manager appear to be crucial for successful development work on patient education. Workplaces and the nurse managers need to provide adequate resources' to develop nursing processes as well as motivate employees to improve nursing. Additionally, nurse managers should support and guide the healthcare workers in development work toward this goal. Well planned and executed development project can improve nursing practices across organizational boundaries.

“…These competencies may assist in guiding the research agenda for nurse management effectiveness. Knowing what successful leaders do related to the AONE competencies would provide data for better leadership development (O'Neil, Morjikian, Cherner, Hirschorn, & West, 2008) and will provide answers on how to respond to today's social and political influences on nursing (Moss, 2006). Future studies will map AONE competencies to standardized nursing intervention data.…”

A Tale of Two Sites: Lessons on Leadership from the Implementation of a Long-term Care Delivery Model (CDM) in Western Canada

et al. 2016

Residential, long-term care serves vulnerable older adults in a facility-based environment. A new care delivery model (CDM) designed to promote more equitable care for residents was implemented in a health region in Western Canada. Leaders and managers faced challenges in implementing this model alongside other concurrent changes. This paper explores the question: How did leadership style influence team functioning with the implementation of the CDM? Qualitative data from interviews with leadership personnel (directors and managers, residential care coordinators and clinical nurse educators), and direct care staff (registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, health care aides, and allied health therapists), working in two different facilities comprise the main sources of data for this study. The findings reveal that leaders with a servant leadership style were better able to create and sustain the conditions to support successful model implementation and higher team functioning, compared to a facility in which the leadership style was less inclusive and proactive, and more resistant to the change. Consequently, staff at the second facility experienced a greater sense of overload with the implementation of the CDM. This study concludes that strong leadership is key to facilitating team work and job satisfaction in a context of change.
