Evidence-based changes in nursing leadership
Abstract
Session presented on Saturday, September 27, 2014:
The knowledge, skills and attitudes demanded of todays nurses are rapidly evolving, due in large part to the sweeping changes in our healthcare system brought on by the passage of the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Preparing graduates for practice in these complex environments challenges faculty at all levels of nursing education, but particularly at the DNP system leadership level as schools simultaneously face faculty shortages nationwide. The resulting increased pressure on faculty workloads has the potential to compromise the curricular enhancements needed to stay on pace with the skill sets required in todays clinical settings. The LEAN process, originating from the engineering industry, represents an approach focused upon enhancing customer value, while simultaneously speeding needed improvements. Using LEAN is one way to more rapidly gain faculty input and consensus around needed curricular redesign. In this session, faculty members describe how they used the LEAN process to efficiently and effectively enhance their DNP curriculum. Faculty satisfaction, benefits as well as lessons learned will be explained.
