Abstract
Organizations that seek Pathway to Excellence® designation have made a commitment to creating a positive practice environment that benefits the organization, patients, and staff. They understand an environment that empowers nurses and validates their value in the workplace is essential for sustaining a productive and effective workforce. Achieving designation means that healthcare organizations have successfully demonstrated the development and integration of the six Pathway standards throughout the organization: shared decision-making, leadership, safety, quality, well-being, and professional development. However, sustaining a positive practice environment isn't always easy. In fact, within the past 24 months, most unsuccessful Pathway applicants were those seeking redesignation.
