Translational Leaders
You are the CNO of your current healthcare organization and have been told that the current organizational structure of the nursing department is “top heavy,” resulting in financial loss for the institution in the last fiscal year. You’ve been instructed to restructure the department to flatten the line to reduce expenses. You should decide how you will do it and how you will implement the change.
• Describe the decision-making framework or model you will choose and the rationale for choosing it.
• Of the three change models PDSA, Kotter, or Rogers which would you choose to use and why? What makes the other two less useful? What influence did your leadership profile have on your choices?
