The Ultimate Guide to Health Systems Leadership

An In-Depth Guide for Nurses, The Change Agents of Healthcare

When nurses better understand the systems in which they work, they can change them for the better.

We cannot approach health care the same way we approach business. By empowering
nurses to sit at the table and make decisions in these health systems, by giving nurses
the tools they need to participate in advocacy, we can reverse the spending trajectory
in the U.S. and begin to mend our healthcare system.

Our goal with this guide is to create the ultimate resource on U.S. health systems,
from the intricacies of their operations to the leadership required to manage
them successfully. This guide is designed to give nurses the tools, vocabulary, and
confidence they need to articulate and implement much-needed transformation.
