It is quite necessary nevertheless to lay down such a principle.” Florence Nightingale, 1863 Notes on Hospitals “The world, more specifically the Hospital world, is in such a hurry, is moving so fast, that it is too easy to slide into bad habits before we are aware.” Florence Nightingale, 1914 Florence Nightingale to Her Nurses vii 3021_FM_i-xxx 16/01/17 3:28 PM Page viii 3021_FM_i-xxx 16/01/17 3:28 PM Page ix Preface In 2000, the Institute of Medicine shocked the health-care community when they reported, in their landmark report, To Err is Human, that approximately 98,000 Americans die each year as a result of preventable adverse events. In response, many patient safety and quality initiatives were launched to make health care safer in the United States and globally. More recently, James (2013) identified evidence suggesting that a more accurate estimate of deaths from preventable errors is 200,000 to 400,000 per year. There is no question that the health-care delivery system is undergoing major changes related to safety and quality. Nurses at all levels and in all settings have been identified as key to transforming health care to a safer, higher-quality, and more effective system. Front-line nurses are being charged with taking leadership and management roles in transforming care at the bedside. Nurse educators must prepare a new generation of nurses to step into these roles as well as manage safe and effective patient care. To that end, this book was written to provide a comprehensive approach to preparing nurses in the critical knowledge, skills, and attitudes in leadership and management needed for the current and future health-care environment. This book is built on the premise that all nurses are leaders and managers re- gardless of their position or setting in which they work. First-level or front-line nursing leaders and managers are those leading and managing care of a patient or groups of patients at the bedside and clients or groups in the community. This level may also include charge nurses, patient care managers, and supervisors. Second-level nursing leaders and managers are those holding a formal position in the system such as unit manager. Their responsibilities include leading and managing material, economic, and human resources necessary for the care of a group of patients, as well as clients or groups in the community. The third-level nursing leaders and managers are those holding a formal position in the organi- zation such as a director over several units and whose responsibilities are similar to those of the second level manager but encompass a broader scope. The fourth level or executive level includes nursing leaders and managers in positions such as chief nursing officer (CNO) or Vice President of Nursing Services. Their re- sponsibilities include administering nursing units within the mission and goals of the organization. Finally, many nurse leaders and managers hold positions outside direct care delivery such as nurses in academic settings, labor unions, political action groups, health-care coalitions, and consumer advocacy groups. This book provides an evidence-based approach to attaining the necessary knowl- edge, skills, and attitudes for nursing practice in today’s dynamic health-care environment.
