Abstract

Numerous changes impacting healthcare settings globally have heightened the focus on improving quality of care and patient safety. Global health leaders increasingly recognize that creating an organizational culture and a practice environment that empowers and engages nurses is essential to improve patient care quality and safety. Nurse leaders look to the Pathway to Excellence Program to develop high-performing teams and a culture of sustained excellence. We discuss how the Pathway framework, effective in transforming organizational culture in the US, is also applicable and attainable in international healthcare settings.
