Download or read book Clinical Leaders written by Elizabeth M. Robertson and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2010 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clinical training and background is not the same as leadership. Where does a potential clinical leader turn to for help and advice? This small, handy volume, specifically written for such purpose, instills the much desired soft skills of leadership. It is not linked to any particular healthcare system. The focus on leadership as a means to influence healthcare culture, is rightly attracting new attention internationally. There is a lack of published advice aimed at clinical leadership and the time is ripe to channel and develop formal pathways to support this previously unrecognized need. There is a hunger for an understanding of what leadership involves and this book is a move to satiate the appetite with useful information presented in a highly readable style. Readers will find the book''s style a refreshing change from the usual heavy academic material. Accounts of hands-on experience that dispense pragmatic advice in a non-pedantic approach are strongly reflected in this book. It draws heavily on the concept that perceptions may not be shared, which may be the basis for fruitful work in terms of achieving mutual understanding, if not necessarily arriving at agreement. Clinical leadership is an evolving discipline and seldom do currently practicing individuals have an accredited qualification. Rather, they build up on-the-job experience. This work a compendium of real-life experience and educational fact attempts to bridge the gap and prepare healthcare professionals to hit the ground running when they take on leadership roles. The book''s narrative pace will make it a good holiday read even on board a long flight, although the subject matter is neither trivial nor trite.

Download or read book The Future of Nursing written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-02-08 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
