Nurse Executives Wearing 2 Hats as Strategic Leaders.

Disruptions in healthcare are challenging nurse leaders to develop innovative care delivery strategies and make the space for nursing practice innovation at the point of care or service. These functions are interdependent and require strong nursing leadership to challenge the status quo thinking of our colleagues. The ultimate goal of disruptive innovation is to ensure that care innovations are aligned with changing consumer and payer expectations, while ensuring safety, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.
