Essential clinical leadership skills

Abstract

Purpose and Rationale: The purpose of this non-equivalent comparison group post test research study was to measure clinical leadership skills acquisition in two groups of new nurse residents. The skills include the ability to effectively communicate with the health care team, organize data, resolve conflict, manage a patient assignment, and understand patient flow and throughput issues. Nurse residents represent a group that may be developed into future nurse leaders. Building clinical leadership skills in this population is thought to be important because planning for and developing new nurse leaders can help the nursing profession achieve leadership succession planning and their patient care goals. A residency program, the HealthSystem Consortium/American Association of Colleges of Nursing (UHC/AACN) program, was chosen to study for its ability to instill clinical leadership skills in new nurse residents. Although this program has been studied to measure workplace satisfaction and retention rates, its ability to impart clinical leadership skills has not been specifically studied.
